InfoQ in French Unlaunched!

This item in japanese

InfoQ will now be available in French at InfoQ.com/fr;  InfoQ FR will serve regions such as Belgium, Quebec, France, Luxemburg, Switzerland and of course all the french-speaking communities around the globe. We are 'unlaunching' it much like we did InfoQ - it is operating with daily news and weekly content, with all content types being supported. InfoQ FR is waiting on your feedback on how they can better serve your needs before we declare it 'launched'.

InfoQ's purpose is to faciliate the spread of knowledge and innovation in the software development community. Since 2007 we have been also running in Chinese, Japanese, and Portuguese  each site managed by independent teams of full time staff and community editors, offering both translated and original local content; InfoQ is again extending to serve communities where English is a barrier.  

InfoQ FR will feature translations of most of InfoQ.com news (within a day of it appearing on the english site), articles, and books; it will have its own calendar for videos of local experts (and eventually subtitled translations of some of the best ones from InfoQ.com); and most importantly, it will also have its own news reporting on local enterprise software development events and cool things for the French-speaking audience, building and connecting local community like InfoQ does for the rest of the world.
 
InfoQ FR has its own personalized RSS feed system (grabbing the feed from InfoQ.com/fr automatically only has news from InfoQ.com/fr), and also their own thread commenting system - the same news posts in both languages have independent discussion threads and will not interfere with each other.  
 
We also hope to soon be translating great content (and perhaps even discussion forum opinions) from those internationalized editions back into english, enabling InfoQ to further facilitate cross-pollination of ideas and knowledge.
