French translation of "gcc --version" is nonsense

[Pierre-François Giraud]

Binary package hint: gcc-4.2

"gcc --version" reports (french locale):

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)

This does not mean anything

Thanks for your bug report.
Unfortunately there's many errors in French translations of GNU apps (including gcc). I suggest to use such command line tools with LANG='C' or to remove corresponding *.mo files (in /usr/share/locale).
If you want to help to improve those translations, please see the Translation Project: http://www.traduc.org/Projet_de_traduction
