I'd be interested in how the more in-depth test goes.

The French documentation is just the English translated, have a
file.html.fr extension format and reside in the same directory as their
cousin English documents.
The French language functions are constructed differently. Each function
has to be trialed, translated and the dynamic strings (the ones that are
translated) are put into a special dictionary file for each language. Its
that special file that the function calls when it is executed.
So, the straight translation should be easy. The functions are more
complex as a relational or positional aspect of the words comes into play.
I hope that made some sense?

The csuite user, passwd determined during install, has bookmarked links in
the files area. Login as user csuite. Then 'g files' should list the
bookmarks.
