 Try
 $LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 gedit

I did it, but it opens gedit in english.

The idea came to search where the config file of gedit is
on my desktop computer.
I made a locate gedit and I found within other files
/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/gedit.mo

I saw that gedit.mo is a binary file.
With an usb key I put it in /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES
of my laptop where it wasn't.
And it worked   :-)
I made a second try with xfdesktop.mo, and it succeeded also.

Now I have to do the same thing for the other packages.
I'm surprised that the video projector could change the language
in many files.

Thanks for your help
Roger

An other method given by a friend, and more easier:
compile again a package in english, and it will become in french.
I tried with gimp and it worked.

I don't indeed understand what happened!
