Topic : Moodle in french and other languages

This one may be a bit longer to do.
Can you add a few languages (french for instance and some others) in moodle.
The language packs are located there:
http://download.moodle.org/langpack/2.2/

French language pack is 98% completed so it can be used (some other languages are well advanced):
http://download.moodle.org/download.php/langpack/2.2/fr.zip

It has to be uncompressed in the moodledata/lang folder. This folder is located in softaculous "data.zip file - in lang directory.
This will not allow a french install, but the language pack will already be available to be selected in one click by the moodle admin.

I went a little farther in moodle database and think the install can be made in other languages as well.
There are 5 language instances in the tables:

Code

INSERT INTO '[[dbprefix]]config' VALUES

(111, 'lang', 'en'),

CREATE TABLE `[[dbprefix]]user`

`lang` varchar(30) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'en',

INSERT INTO `[[dbprefix]]user` VALUES

twice 'en' (guest and admin)

INSERT INTO `[[dbprefix]]config_log` VALUES

(142, 0, [[timestamp]], NULL, 'lang', 'en', NULL)

I think the four first instances could be set to [[language]] if you add a language selection in the install form. When I selected french language they were changed to 'fr' in the database.
The last one (config_log), was not changed so I guess it's not so important to leave it in english as I could not find any english expression after changing all this. It may eventually be set to '[[language]]' as well.'
