I have a couple of basic VB programs that can take a local .OSM file and add a name:fr field to street names, it also does a little look up to translate the street name type. You just take the output and feed it into JOSM and upload the changes.
As with all bots and such tools its best to have some one else verify the output before going mad with it. Maperitive can be set to render using one of the alternative name fields such as name:fr and I have an example if need be.
