I don't do that. (Well, I tried, but it did not work.)

I'd rather get this working in 1.6.5...

Sure. I'll do that if nothing else works, but as you say, it should not
be needed.

I confirm the /translator folder is here. The
translator-theorem-dictionary-French.dict looks right.

The translator package appears to be loaded automatically by the default
(Warsaw) Beamer theme.

Indeed in my LyX window it's OK too. So, something has to be working
there, at least partially...

Too bad! I can't see the translations in preview... (only 'corollary',
'theorem'...).

When I read this, I had the idea of renaming my ~/.lyx folder. Tried a
new French Beamer template and previewed... and bingo! The theorem names
were in French.

So, something in my ~/.lyx folder interfered with the translations. I
think I'll keep the fresh ~/.lyx and carefully restore the settings I
need.

I'm also pretty confident that it will also solve my second problem (the
printed documents, and the solution you described in your April 2009
mail, that I could not get working so far).
