A new mailing-list was just created [1], to the attention of the French-speaking DeforaOS' developers and advanced users among you: devel-fr [2]. You aren't many but the latest evolutions of the project seem to be justifying the presence of at least one new mailing-list with a different main language, as the desktop applications are currently being translated to at least French and German, then Spanish and maybe Italian, too.

This is implemented using gettext(), as announced a few days ago on the main development mailing-list [3]. Browser [4] and Surfer [5] are the first applications to be undergoing this, with more to come. Translations of these "po" files will naturally be open to anyone, either through the mailing-lists, or possibly giving commit access to translators if so desired.
