The original text talks about intervals, not frequencies. I took a look into the French translation of gnome-system-monitor and it states "_Fréquence de mise à jour en secondes :" for "_Update interval in seconds:"
Looks like a mistake in the French translation (po/fr.po file). Please suggest a proper translation into French.
