Besides a very unhappy child, I'm not either.

The program is supposed to provide a learning environment for small 
children.  It can be configured with sound and, where different, image 
files, for different languages. I have installed the French language 
sound and auxiliary files but French is not an option that shows up an 
any of the menus.  Only Default and EN appear.

Switch among them.  It is configurable for multiple profiles and is 
"also" intended for multiple student classroom environments using group 
profiles of individual student profile data.  The profiles run 
consecutively, not simultaneously.

No, but the intention was only set up and run English and French 
profiles.  Again only Default and EN appear.

from the locales folder:

  fr_BE.UTF-8.
  fr_CA.UTF-8
  fr_CH.UTF-8
  fr_FR.UTF-8
  fr_LU.UTF-8
