Yup.  The danger is that by trying to force the web to be accesible by all
you undermime it's very strength.  I doubt there is a right answer to this
one - it just shows that the French are very proud and very protective of
their language.  However, all the good things about the web came about
because of two things:

1. it was simple to do
2. it was built on standards

If you follow the standards as defined by the W3C then your web sight
_should_ work with any broswer, be it graphical or otherwise.  I can't
promise it'll be translated into French, but it will be in a state to be
consumed by the blind, death, and non-graphical communities.

We wouldn't flame you for that - practically the only way to get flamed
around here is to argue that the distance between two points several miles
apart tends towards zero using fundementally flawed classical theory as you
basis. ;)
