If you just need French language support, and want the French
documentation pages, unpack the i18n.tgz on your local machine, move
all files with PmWikiFr.* into wikilib.d, and upload those.
No need to upload all pages for all languages.
then add to your config.php:

    XLPage('fr','PmWikiFr.XLPage');

which will translate all or many of the English words in the system to
French. Ther eshould also be  a XLCookbookPage for French, which helps
with terms used in recipes and skins.

you may need to change the locale as well, to change time display for
instance. But it may have been already achieved with some entries on
the PmWikiFr.XLPage. Maybe the following page says a bit more?
