Super! I added it. I made a screenshot at http://www.bamsoftware.com/wiki/uploads/Nmap/zenmap-fr.png. Did you have difficulty translating any of the strings? I was reading that it's preferable to do format strings in the style "%(num)d ports open on %(host)s" % { "num": num, "host": host } rather than "%d ports open on %s" % (num, host) so that translators are free to rearrange the words if necessary. But we don't use that style everywhere. Also I think there are a few places where English sentences are built up in pieces, and those could be hard to translate. What about the instructions at http://nmap.org/book/zenmap-lang.html#zenmap-lang-new, are they accurate? Would you add anything? With Zenmap becoming such a cosmopolitan application, the English-only topology interface is going to stand out. Does anyone volunteer to gettextize the radialnet directory? What that means is you find all the strings that should be translated and put _() marks around them, like "Does not compute" → _("Does not compute") See http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Mark-Keywords. You may also have to add import zenmapCore.I18N at the top of each file.
