Your guess is right, but the file is in a compiled form, so you can't 
patch it easily as long as you don't provide the exact same lenghts
of all entries. But as you also might guess: There are already efforts
on the way to really translate this thing into the needed languages,
also into French. So be patient and wait for the wonderful things to
come. But it will still take some considerable amount of time, because
you not only have to translate those few text strings, but the program
itself must also get adapted to longer gadget texts and all such
peculiarities. "We work on it."
