Magento – French language pack with email templates for 1.9

The Magento Core Language Pack in French is available on Connect as well, and comes pre-installed in EE:

While I don't speak French, I would recommend use of core modules over 3rd party developer modules in general due to future support of new functionality (1.8CE and beyond into Magento 2).

It looks as if 98% of Magento CE (1.7) has been translated already into French:

But that's just the core. There are many options to provide translations to your custom extensions:

• Use translate.csv in your theme
• Providing a locale-specific translation of your modules, e.g. app/locale/en_US/YourCompany_YourModule.csv
• Use inline translation (javascript-based).

Best of luck!

I am not sure about the link you gave but check this out. https://web.archive.org/web/20140713085512/http://www.magentocommerce.com/translations/list/9

Here is the French pack. It states that it's 99.5% complete so you won't have to do a lot of work.

My locale's translatios worked like a charm from the above link.

Cheers!
