Bienvenue Français!
Today, we are happy to announce the publication of the French translation of the WPILib documentation site. You can view the latest French translation here and at the beginning of the season, just like the English version, the documentation will be marked as stable. This effort could not have happened without the hard work of dedicated volunteers - a huge thank you to Régis Bekale for coordinating the French translation effort and to the many volunteers who reviewed and translated the 162,000 words of documentation in just under 2 months.
Below is a message from Régis thanking the team for the amazing accomplishment:

I would like to specifically thank Austin Shalit, Brad Miller, Dalton Smith, and the whole WPILib team for giving us the opportunity to contribute to this project and for trusting us with this translation work.

We hope that this is the first of many translations of the WPILib documentation! The Spanish team's translation is already 50% complete and should be releasing shortly.
