Yes, but more important we use these words in the man page.
IMO, these words are technical words so translation is
problematic (but maybe this is not the case, I do not know).

Of course the real big challenge is to translate the fvwm
documentation (some doc is translated in fvwm-themes).

I think that French can be used to ask question on this mailing
