The French translation did work but it sounds like Stardock has been having trouble with the localization company they outsourced it too. I'm sure it will be fixed with Rebellion.
Having hope is good but not all dream become true...
Kalypso make localization only for what they receive money for... it mean original sins, Trinity and possibly with Rebellion...
Entrenchment and diplomacy was not released by Kalypso and they don't make localization for it...
More bad, once released they don't follow up with patch... since Stardock/Ironclad are a good example in the game world, that they don't abandon it with bug or balance problem after the public release, the patching rate is enough high... and pretty some your localized version of sins/Trinity/Rebellion become obsolete...
if you are a French fan of Stardock game, there is a good place for you with French translation for various stardock game, expension and a few mod :
