Okay you guys, those who speak French, how would you translate "Peer Answers. Peer Support. Period." in a way that French speakers would understand. A literal translation probably won't work.

I'd probably say:
Toutes réponses, tout appui, tous ici.
"All answers, all support, all here."

It sounds the best.

You should have made each poll answer in their native language.

The problem is it's a sound thing, with "pE" in peer and period.  If it's important that peer is retained, then I can come up with something else, otherwise, I'd find that the focus on answers and support is most important.

Just English... after several years of Chinese (oh alright, so that wasn't an option anyway) and 2 years of French I still suck terribly at both of those.

Okay you guys, those who speak French, how would you translate "Peer Answers. Peer Support. Period." in a way that French speakers would understand. A literal translation probably won't work.

I'd probably say 'Groupe réponses. Groupe aide. Fin.' Literally it means 'Group answers. Group help. End.'

'Peer' in French is 'pair' or 'égal' (meaning equal). You could substitute 'groupe' for either of those words if you need to keep the concept of peer support.
