The current state of French documentation is disastrous. There will be a
lot of work to recreate the cross-references. Index names can not remain in
English in French doc.
Translations recreated by Google on 60% _fr files are completely ridiculous and
close to the zero level of technical documentation.
We have retained the Lyx file, they will save us. We are motivated and we
will remake a true documentation in asciidoc.
