Just about all the user-visible strings in the app have been moved into language bundles, and are ready to be translated. The few exceptions are the Artifact View page, My Collection, and the alt text for the Navigation Bar. We're working on these today.

In short, you just need to look at the English strings in Jess' file and specify their French equivalents. In several cases, some of us have used our awkward grade school French to do a rough translation. Hopefully you will find it suitably amusing.
