EpiKnet's nickname service is configured to use french
by default to communicate.
Therefore, The pattern needed to match the warning about
registered nicknames has been translated to french.
Of course, a pattern like ".*(enregistré|registered).*"
would also work and would match both the french
and english variants of the message.
