[wp-polyglots] french translation

[Morgan Doocy]

If it's any help, my Oxford-Hachette translates billet as "5. [Presse] 
Short article." (The use of "post" to refer to a short article is 
absent from the English portion of the dictionary, but I think it's a 
relatively new use of the word.)

So I guess it would come down to whether or not we consider blog 
entries to be short articles or just articles. It's a fine line, but 
I'd say blog entries are, on the whole, more accurately described as 
short articles, which I suppose is why we refer to them as posts in 
English rather than articles. So my vote would be for billet.
