Loading the translated dialogs is broken in the 1.1a1 source, sorry.  I
checked in a fix for this a while back, so it should work with 1.1a2 (and
works from CVS now).

The 'fallback' mechanism was also broken in 1.1a1 (sorry).  This means that
if the language was set to fr_FR (French French, rather than e.g. Canadian
French) and it didn't exist, then it wouldn't manage to fall back on fr
(generic French).  Again, I checked in a fix for 1.1a2/CVS.

I don't know for sure about the problem with the OS language not working (I
suspect it's saying that the language is fr_FR), but I'm guessing that
that's the problem.

Try opening up the default_bayes_customize.ini file in the SpamBayes data
directory and adding:

[globals]
language:fr

To it (rather than fr_FR).  That ought to work.
