Add French translation

[vlevieux]

Language:

Initial tasks

• Create an empty repository on GitHub. Name the repository as flask-docs-<lang code>, for example, flask-docs-es.
• Set up your repository based on the translation template repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/flaskcwg/translation-template.git flask-docs-<lang code>
$ cd flask-docs-<lang code>
$ git remote set-url origin <the-Git-URL-to-your-repository>
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/pallets/flask.git
$ git fetch upstream
$ git merge upstream/2.0.x
$ git push -u origin main

• Create a virtual environment, then install the requirements:

$ python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
$ pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
$ pip install sphinx-intl
$ pip install -e .
$ pre-commit install

• Generate the .pot and .po files (replace <lang code> with your language code):

$ cd docs
$ make gettext  # use ".\make.bat gettext" on Windows
$ sphinx-intl update -p _build/gettext -l <lang code>

• Replace the <LANG> in the README.md, the language config, and the
  html_search_language config in docs/conf.py with your language code.
  Update the .po file examples.
• Setup ReadtheDocs to connect your repository, use flask-<lang code> as the subdomain, set the default version to the main branch, and enable the "single version" mode.
• Translate the README.md and the pull request template (optional).
• Update the title, and all the <UPDATE THIS> placeholders in README.md and docs/conf.py. You can update the README.md to add more format or translate tips for your language.
• You can choose to use Transifex or other translation platforms. In that case, you will need to rewrite the "Contributing Guide" in the README.md.
• Update the Language-Team value in all .po files.
• Translate html_title and project links in the docs/conf.py file.
• Translate the docs/index file (you can make a localized logo for the index page).
• Translate the docs/foreword file.
• Translate the docs/advanced-foreword file.
• Translate the docs/installation file.
• [x ] Translate the docs/quickstart file.
• Translate the "Tutorial" part of the docs.
• Switch the repository into the flaskcwg organization.

Public

Tasks after the repository is switched into flaskcwg:

• Add a new language entry to the README.
• Add a new language entry to translations page.

Maintenance

Tasks when the whole documentation is translated:

• Create a 2.0.x branch, set it as default version on ReadtheDocs.
• Rewrite the contributing guide in the README.md of the translation repository, encourage people to fetch upstream and update docs (see details below).
• Rename the section "Translation To-do List" to "Translators". You can also add
  a "Reviewers" section.
• Switch the docs into http://flask.palletsprojects.com/.

You should sync documentation updates from Flask periodically:

$ git fetch upstream
$ git merge upstream/2.0.x
$ cd docs
$ make gettext  # use ".\make.bat gettext" on Windows
$ sphinx-intl update -p _build/gettext

Then update the translation for new changes.

@Jalkhov can you follow the issue about migration. Adding you @vlevieux as the french coordinator!

[Jalkhov]

@vlevieux Do you have discord?

Migrate repo to FlaskCWG

[vlevieux]

@Jalkhov Yes I do, I already joined the Pallets Projects discord. My ID: @reese41#6396

@Abdur-rahmaanJ @Jalkhov Unfortunately I can't transfer the ownership to flaskcwg. I don't have the permissions to create a public repo on flaskcwg.

@vlevieux Now supposed to be ok. Privileges granted.
