As of March 3rd 2007, all packages in Debian unstable that have
translatable debconf templates are translated into French [1].

This is the result of a continuous effort in the last years and
particularly the last 4.5 years, since the upload of po-debconf back
in September 2002 by Denis Barbier which enabled translators to use
gettext to handle debconf translations.

This achievement, combined with the translation of the Debian
Installer, is the guarantee that even a complete installation of a
Debian system with all possible packages, when run in French, will
only show French-speaking prompts to the user.

That effort is also ongoing for several other languages [2], thanks to
the commitment of the numerous contributors from the Debian
internationalisation community [3].

All thanks and credits for the achievement of the French localisation
are due to the French translators [5] as well as all Debian package
maintainers who have regularly fixed the dozens of bug reports sent
by translators over the years.

A last effort will now target the 100% mark for packages in
testing. The current status, as of [4], is 99.2%.
