Searching for Ronan KERYELL's old material, look at CTAN
                 in language/french/contrib/
                 Notice that "frbib" package is no more needed with french
                 which loads now by default bibliographic files for 
                 translation of names and titles used usually by bliographic
                 styles.


Searching for French bst files you can also look at smfplain.bst
                         available on CTAN.
and also Tristan Lorino cyclope.bst (french Natbib) and other styles at 
                         http://daedale.free.fr/latex/indexlatex2.htm


You will find here:

- mempatchfr.tex from Frederic CONNES which is a patch to memoir.sty to
               localize the book name for French.

- the directory french_bst with bibliographic material.
  At the present time, there is material in the "french_bst" coming from:

Olivier ANDRIEUX provided a Natbib style (frplainnat.bst) to be used in French.
================ 

Jens BERGER who initialy provided file frjbbib.ldf for names used
=========== in the Jurabib package. Few changes made by me. 

Peter M\"unster provided an ACM bib style and files (fracm*) for use in French.
=============== 

I still wait contributions from authors about other languages used in France
or elsewhere in French speaking countries. Defaultly the languages "acadien",
"canadien" and "patois" are alias of "french" in the language.dat file.
I've currently collected the following information:

Alsacian language: nothing known at this day, except the well known
-----------------  German files which may be used with french, mlp and
                   babel.

Basque language: hyphenation files from Juan M. Aguirregabira available
---------------  from http://tp.lc.ehu.es/jma.html (bahyph.tex). Support
                 from babel is also available.

Breton language: minimum support from babel is available. No hyphenation
---------------  files known to exist.

Occitan language: nothing available?
----------------
