The French-Specific Rules of the Style guide asks that command and example descriptions on pages in French must use the third person singular present indicative tense (présent de l'indicatif à la troisième personne du singulier). For example, use Extrait une archive rather than Extraire une archive or Extrais une archive.

However, this French translation alias page template recommends Voir (infinitif présent) instead of voit (présent de l'indicatif à la troisième personne du singulier). However, the third person singular present indicative tense voit doesn't make sense in this contexte, so it must be replace with another similar verb like Afficher. That's why I propose to replace Voir with Affiche so it avoids making people following the template breaking this rule.

It would also align with the translation in Common descriptions

Display help -> Affiche l'aide (and not voir l'aide)

Display version -> Affiche la version (and not voir la version)
