There's been interest in the past in doing a French translation.  For
example, Daniel Lepage <daniel_lepage at hotmail.com> offered his
assistance in such a task back in June.  You might consider contacting
him to see if he's still able to help.

As for the "how to", generally we advise you to copy not the trunk of
the 'en' version, but the latest tag (so you aren't chasing a moving
target out of the gate).
