I think both 1 and 2 are fine, and we will probably have to do both at
the same time (apply a patch in our packaging and send it to
upstream),
There doesn't seems to be a lot of French strings in the GUI, so that
might be easy work, and probably appreciated by upstream.

No, these are all fine, I was just worried about the possibility of
the GUI not being complete, but since you still have interest, it's
fine. I only ask you to use the GUI and try out a few use cases just
to make sure it's working fine.
Thanks for contributing!
