I have solved the CardDAV/CalDAV issue, a bad removal of the  
/usr/share/php/Sabre folder.
I have re-created it with all inside and everything is fine for this part.

So the only issue now that I am facing since more than one month and  
that I can't figure out is with the translation which keeps displaying  
english default titles instead of the translated ones.

If somebody have a clue on this, you are VERY welcome!

Thanks,
Laurent
