Coucou Xavier ! :-)

Perhaps yes, perhaps no. It would be slightly more correct for someone 
from Morocco or la Côte d'Ivoire, whose local dialect doesn't yet have 
a French translation in Rosetta, to download a "generic" French 
translation. But that's really just me being picky about semantics, 
'cause it'd be easy enough to just download the fr_FR one, or whichever 
is closest to their dialect. So I don't know.

The 'fr' portion is the ISO 639-1 Alpha-2 language code; the 'CA' 
portion is the ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 _country_ code. Since Quebec is not a 
country, it must be CA.
