Is this english to french translation correct?

The aim of the game is to win the most sets in a match. To win a set, you must be the first to win 11 points.

Your translation is perfect.



Jenkin: I'm sorry dear but the translation sounds perfectly French-French. There are always different ways to translate a sentence. Of course, that of Id茅fix is right too.

The question was "Is this translation correct?", the answer is "yes".
Well, first, a set is une manche.



And, yes you are allowed to write with this patern:

Pour gagner une manche, vous devez 锚tre le premier 脿 gagner 11 points.



Grammatically, it's about 97% OK. you used an english word set.



An advice: be careful with numbers. Usually, you are allowed to write in numerals when they are greater than ten. If not, you should write them in latin letters.



But I would think about changing the first "gagner" for "remporter". It gets annoying when you repeat the same words too often and the meaning can get affected since many meanings can be applied to a single word.



It's not a grammatical issue, it's just that it sounds weird, especially because it is written and not spoken. Also, your sentences are kind of "jerky". It starts and stops to repeat similar information.Is this english to french translation correct?
Bit puzzled by your respondents. Your translation is good, but not quite French French, if you know what I mean. Idefix is the best answer. Banshee's response is a bit confusing.Is this english to french translation correct?
