Why does my friggin Thunderbird always put my reply at the bottom? Why 
should I make people reading my email scroll all the way down to see wut 
I writ. Anywho ...

I took a gander at the two sets of strings .. not a SEVERE perusal, but 
at the first few lines anyway. My french is pretty non existant but I 
know enough spanish to dumb through it. It *would* have been easier if 
it went line by line. In any case, the translations seem to be basically 
the same, even though the exact sentances may vary a bit.
example
"Thèmes par défaut distribués avec l'installateur." = "Default theme 
'distributed' (included?) with the installer"
 vs

"Thème par défaut de la distribution LOSI." = "Default theme of the LOSI 
Distro"

MY suggestion is to send it over LSF <http://www.litestep-france.net/> 
and ask them.
