Maybe it's unnecessary, to do the search on the French site (but it's
possible that I'm missing some of the implications of what you're doing).
Searching the 'akas' server will give you titles in foreign
languages (but it will show you the original title); after that
you could get the URL of the movie you need, get its URL with
the ia.get_imdbURL method and - if you want the French page -
change this URL later.

Anyway, limiting the scope to movie titles, I think there's room for
improvement: wouldn't it be nice to be able to get the title in a
given language (if it's present amongst the akas)?
Something like a titleInLang(lang) method of the Movie class; it could
scan the list of akas for the specific language.
Caveat: I think that most of the times in the 'akas' key the _country_
is listed, and not the language - so we should provide a mapping between
countries and their main language (this is already partially done in
the 'articles' module, for different reasons: it should be extended).

If you're interested in this feature, let me know if you want to
work on it (in this case, open a Bitbucket account and fork imdbpy [1])
Otherwise, it goes in the "todo". :-)

    If you don't want to learn Mercurial - a thing I'm suggesting to
    anyone, by the way: it's amazing - you can work using patches.
