Alain, LyX's user interface is fully translated into french.
$ make
$ su
$ make install
$ exit
The translation uses gnu gettext. See the files in the po directory.
Installing lyx should result in these translation files being
installed in /usr/local/share/locale. Eg, here I have:
/usr/local/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/lyx-1.3.4cvs.mo
(because I configured lyx as
./configure --with-version-suffix=-1.3.4cvs
)
I believe that there is a configure option to install only certain
languages (rather than all of them).
To turn on the french translation:
$ echo $LANG
C
$ LANG=fr_FR
$ export LANG
$ echo $LANG
fr_FR
$ lyx-1.3.4cvs
See attached screenshot.
