Hi,

Thanks for the info, I search a little and I found it.

I change

<!ENTITY % lang-fr "IGNORE">
to
<!ENTITY % lang-fr "INCLUDE">

and all is translated.

Thanks

Programming today is a race between software engineers
to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs,
and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

So far, the Universe is winning.
