2 confusing vocabulary problems for calendar events reminders

Before you read it, i apologise in advance for not having used all the text fields as the explanation is not obvious, nor even the possible solutions.

Hello dear dev team,

Problem 1 :

When modifying a reminder of an event, i can choose a reminder on a specific date, which is not chronologically related to the beginning of the event. I am not English-speaking enough to say whether "on date" is a term that is understandable in English. On the other hand, "A jour" means nothing in French except, in some cases, in computing, where it means "updated". It is thus a problematic literal translation. I have made suggestions in Transiflex and highlight the problem of this translation which makes this option incomprehensible in French.

Problem 2 :

Still in the reminders that are modified, there is another problem, concerning the "modify time" button. This wording is misleading, as it is thought that you can only change the time, when in fact you can also access the date change. I therefore suggest that before any new translation suggestions are made in French (and other languages), the original text should simply be changed to "edit". I looked for the original text to make a possible pull request but it seems that the text is called statically in the code in "src/components/Editor/Alarm/AlarmListItem.vue" (line 133).

Thanks in advance for your opinions and suggestions to improve the UX of the "reminders" part of Nextcloud Calendar.
