 I'm afraid there is no real coordination of the translator's work, so it's
not impossible that somebody else is working on this, but considering that
French translations are updated about once per year, the probability of
this happening right now seems low. You can, of course, contact Gérard
Durand (his email address is in "git log locale/fr.po" output) to ask him
about it.

 Please submit a PR if you are comfortable with doing this or just send me
the updated fr.po as explained in the "How to Help" section of
https://www.wxwidgets.org/about/translations/

 If you have access to a Unix-like environment (Cygwin, MSYS2 and, of
course, WSL all count as such) you can just run

	$ msgfmt -v -c locale/fr.po

to check that there are no problems. This will also generate fr.mo that you
can test during run-time.

 Sorry, not sure about this one, but I think they are indeed the same.

 Thanks in advance for your help,
