As soon as we get to Salsa 1.0, I think we should create a fork for a French version.
In the meantime, would you be willing to translate the “help” section? Then I can add a button to that section to switch to the French version.
Also, if you think it would be helpful, we could meet over the web so that I could review the structure of Salsa and answer your questions.
