[mobile-devel] French translation

[Mario Bertrand]

Hi Martin,

I found that I can use diff and patch on Linux. I will give it a try to
see how it works.

There should be a way to do this with svn command, so we can translate
strings from diff files which can be applied back to the original, the
same way we apply a patch on source code. But this is beyond my
expertise.
