Unfortunately we can only fit so many language packs on the cd. The strings / text one sees during "Install ubuntu" does ship all the translations we have, and one should be able to complete the installation in French. If at the same time internet connection is available french language packs will be downloaded and installed such that the final system will have french localisation.
Based on the heuristics of determining % of world population speakers we try to include languages in the order of most spoken. In that list french is the next one in line and at times is added/removed from the CD image to gain space.
