Hi,
there were french translations of the news in the past, but I didn't see anything new for some few weeks (months?).
Hi. I'm the current French translator, with Pygmee. I guess you're joking about French translations : - We updated the FR tutorials translations and the software interface for 0.44 (100% translated, and the svn trunk is also 99% translated too). - Mouse/keyboard shortcuts are translated too, so are the man pages and the windows installer. - Release notes for 0.44 have also been translated and the release notes for 0.45 (under development) are synchronized weekly. - I'm also translating Tavmjong's "guide to inkscape" to French.
So if the current translator agree and if you think I can help, I 'm your man
Of course, with pleasure. Some reviews of the current translations would be appreciated I think Pygmee would be more than happy to get some help with the manual. We may also need some help with the translation of the wiki and the news.
For more information about translation, you can check this page : http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Translation_information
We've also a dedicated translation mailing list, here : https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-translator
