The Applicant guidebook available in French soon!

According to an email I just received:
  1. An updated version of the Applicant Guidebook will be available sometime this month ;
  2. French is one of the languages it is being translated into but there is no specified date for this publication.
I don't know what the changes are going to be in the updated version, neither can I say whether it will be called the “final version” or “version 8”.

I am happy French readers can have the same level of information as the rest of the world...because everyone knows the rest of the world speaks English right ?
