There are a number of areas where you have to make changes.  I will try 
to list them by priority.

1- The demo store. This is the model for your storefront.
1.1- Run /usr/lib/interchange/bin/localize   -l fr_FR <demo-page to 
translate i.e. account.html>   > <your-work-file>
This extracts all text with [L] tags to translate.
Translate those tags and incoporate in a file indentified in catalog.cfg 
by the directive Locale fr_FR <filename> or
Locale fr_FR  followed by here document in catalog.cfg containing the 
translations.
You can also translate directly in the html page with the [LC] tag but 
this is slower to execute.
In templates you have to use [loc] tags or the newer [msg] tags to 
reference the text to translate in the same way as the [L] tags.

1.2 - Translate the buttons using a graphics editor.  I have graphics 
for these and will send them on request.

In Foundation Demo Menu:
home.gif        translate to    ACCUEIL
login.gif                             CONNEXION
logout.gif                            DECONNEXION
cart.gif                               LISTE D'ACHATS
Checkout.gif                       REGLER LES ACHATS
service.gif -----(no need to translate)
about.gif                          A PROPOS

Could you add the following for me in French & English:
payment.gif                      PAYMENT
paymentf.gif                        PAIEMENT

The following buttons are also required inside the functions:

buynow.gif --------translate to      ACHETER
Checkout_button.gif                 REGLER LES ACHATS
Download.png                          TELECHARGER!
go.gif                                        RECHERCHER
logo.gif                                    Remplacer ce graphisme par 
votre logo
placeorder.gif                        Passer la commande
poweredby.gif                        ACTIONNE PAR
recalculate_button.gif            Recalculer
savecart.gif                            Sauvegarder cette liste
saverecur.gif                          Sauvegarder cette commande


1.3 - Translate the products in the database. You need to add the 
translation in the product records or else use different products for 
different languages.

1.4 - Translate the error messages in the same way as the html pages:

1.5 Do the same for the admin interface.  These are the pages used to 
manage the store.

Once you have translated the above as needed,   you can access the store 
from your html pages
 with the following tags in place of the links:

[page process/locale/fr_FR/page/catalog]  which is equivalent to [page 
catalog]. The locale change is persistent.


Note the correct address for i18n list is
