Hi,

The French speaking community has a very wide website with a wiki providing a very rich
documentation regularly updated by a team running a dedicated mailing list and an
IRC channel, a large forum, and a planet:
http://ubuntu-fr.org/

(providing information to people from about 250 countries where French is spoken)

Download the French Edition (built from the official version):

For the simple reason that many users (from any country) just don't speak English at all.
Some of them speak a little English, let's say from 10 words to a few current sentences
and some who are a little better in English simply don't find it very comfortable to deal
with, be it written language or videos.

This is why paid services do exist, as well as machines ready for use with the system. :)

All additional contributions are a good thing, be they available for part of the people
or for all the people.
