As explained in README.i18n, the translations are handled by the GTP. Most translators have not yet started to update the translations in the 2.1 tree and have concentrated on the 2.0 tree for now. This is likely going to change soon. If you want to help, please coordinate with the GTP.

Salut Cedric,

Quoting cedric :

I've just compiled 2.1.4 (starting as failed but this is nothing), and it seems that many GUI labels are not translating into my precious french. Is there any help needed for this, and if yes how to do ?

The procedure for helping out with a translation is more or less

1: Mail the translator first, to ensure he just hasn't committed an updated translation - the French coordinator is Christophe Merlet .

2: If you get the all clear, translate the various po*/fr.po files - there is an active French translation community based around traduc.org, which can get you started using some of the utilities which parse .po files and make it easier to find untranslated strings or fuzzy translations (translations whose key string has changed since they were translated).

3: Send Christophe your updated translation, he will check it over or have someone else do so to ensure that translations are consistent (the same people who translate the GIMP translate GNOME, so they have been busy recently), and he will commit your changes.

Cheers, Dave.
