To create a french format for LaTeX, just do the following steps:
  - edit the file web2c/fmtutil.cnf and remove the comment for
    the frlatex line
  - customize any of the files in tex/french/config to meet your
    requirements
  - run the commands
      fmtutil --byfmt frlatex
      texlinks

You are done. You can now use the command "frlatex" to process your
multilingual documents with French as main language.
