Hello Pierre,
From looking at elogind at git-hub, they have the following in their news:
CHANGES WITH 241:
* The default locale can now be configured at compile time. Otherwise,
a suitable default will be selected automatically (one of C.UTF-8,
en_US.UTF-8, and C).
I am not sure if you compiled the french locale in or not.
Regards,
Christopher.
