Thanks for your explanation Drew :-) It's a bit more clear now.

Ok, I'll have a look tomorrow to the DE content to have an idea of the 
targeted audience.
What can be done too is the adaptations the fr_CA version don't get with 
the fr_FR version, such as AutoCorrection file for example.

Also, organizing the work between the different teams (like 
documentation and l10n) in the FR project will help. Our doc team is 
well aware of what is available and needed. The FR forum admins have 
produced a lot of templates, I'm sure they'll be interested to participate.

Ok, my day is almost over and part of the night will be dedicated to 
localization. So I'll check tomorrow the content for DE and EN and will 
come with some concrete propositions or links.

Kind regards
Sophie
