We have the exact same idioms in French for the last two (battre le fer pendant qu'il est encore chaud, and revenir à nos moutons) !

> battre le fer pendant qu'il est encore chaud

Do people actually say that? Seems very long winded.

Using the power of not pronouncing most of the letters and speaking very very fast, they can get it down to:

batlefe pend ki letencoshow

which is more manageable.

Not super often but yes, although we'd often skip the "encore"
