French is being trained by the consortium and is part of the scope of the grant, so we should have it at some point in June and we'll ship and update as soon we have it.
I wouldn't comment on the absence of French vis-a-vis other languages. It's just slightly surprising because English <-> French is honestly a very widely studied translation sub-task, with an enormous amount of parallel corpora available for training these models.
Well, there's this and the fact that it is the second most popular language in the european union, which sponsor the project.
Should the EU languages get preferential treatment ?
