Dear Br Cyrille,

First, thanks for your persistence.

Yes, imp2vs is probably your easiest path.

You will also want to specify your locale so you get French Bible names 
recognized.  Add this to the end of the command:

-l fr

Yes, our verse parser interprets ',' as a list separator.  You can use 
'.' or ':'.  You can also leave the spaces in the verse.  I suspect your 
problem was not specifying the French locale.  The parser couldn't 
recognize the French book names and I don't think you got the English 
book names correct when you tried switching to English.  The problem 
with the comma is that Gen1,2 was interpreted as: Genesis chapter 1 and 
Genesis chapter 2.

I'm surprised the result was better. "Genèse" is not the English name 
for "Genesis".

This sounds like you may have a problem between the -v Catholic flag you 
used during the import, and Versification=Catholic configuration 
parameter which would need to be in the module's .conf file.  Were you 
sure to change the module's .conf file to match the versification you 
used during import?

Also, as you may have seen in a previous post about another issue today, 
we recommend using our latest version of module tools from SVN.  Often 
we fix bugs and the packages are sometimes years behind.

You may wish to build from SVN:

svn co http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk sword
cd sword
./autogen.sh
./usrinst.sh
make

then you'll have your utilities build under the utilities/ folder and 
there will also be some tests we can run under the tests/ folder.

Hope this helps and can get you going.  Blessings in your efforts.

Troy
