I put separate commits for explanations.
Open to any feedback (dropping some commits, squash merge, etc).

"Nom de de la pellicule imortée" had a duplicated "de" and a
misspelled "imortée" (importée).
"dans dans l'info bulle" repeated the preposition.
"très très lent" is not idiomatic and reads as a duplication typo;
use "extrêmement lent" to keep it distinct from the plain "très lent"
used for the "very slow" (1024 px) label.
The singular form had a trailing space not present in the plural form
of the same string.
Every other quoted config-option name in these two OpenCL debug
strings has a non-breaking space on both sides of the guillemets;
"pinned_memory" was missing it before the closing ».
The msgid names the technical option 'unified_fraction'; the French
string had turned it into "unified_faction", a different word.
…ency

Several long tooltip/help strings used a plain ASCII apostrophe (')
for one or two elisions while using the typographic ’ everywhere else
in the same string. Normalize to ’ throughout, matching the
convention used across the rest of the file. Markup attributes like
style='italic' are left untouched since those are syntax, not text.
- "l'écriture ... n'est pas activé" -> "activée" (agreement with the
  feminine "écriture").
- "les couleurs pastel sont encore affectés" -> "affectées" (agreement
  with the feminine plural "couleurs").
- "la protection augment graduellement" -> "augmente" (3rd person
  singular present of "augmenter").

Found while normalizing apostrophes in the same neighboring strings.
Original was looked like a quick translation using developer-speak.
Yes, even when technically the shape is actually just a square.
*Le début* est atteint, pas "atteinte".
