French Language Pack for Sitefinity CMS to Support Francophone Teams

Deliver a localized administrative experience in French for your Sitefinity CMS users. Ideal for teams operating in France, Canada, Belgium and other Francophone markets, this language pack improves backend usability and accelerates team adoption.

Overview

The French Language Pack enables a fully localized Sitefinity CMS backend by translating core interface components into French. From menus and tooltips to notifications and action buttons, the pack equips content teams with a familiar user experience in their native language.

The language pack is compatible with Sitefinity versions 4.1 and up, with complete support up to version 11.1. For later versions, any new interface elements will require manual translation.

This language pack consists of .resx files that convert the Sitefinity administrative interface into French. It helps global organizations support distributed web teams across French-speaking regions with improved usability and workflow efficiency.
