That will not be enough. The French translation of "Filesystem " is way
too long.

We have :

Filesystem    Type   1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
Système de fichiers   Type   1K-blocs    Utilisé de la capacité

No mater what will be the size of the `...Type' header we can't have a
well aligned stuff in french.

My patch, by giving diiferent translation of Filesystem and by translating 
also some spaces kept the stuff well aligned :

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
Syst. de fichier      1K-blocs   Utilisé    Dispo.%Pris Monté sur

Filesystem    Type   1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
Syst. de fic. Type    1K-blocs   Utilisé    Dispo.%Pris Monté sur

None the less, but it's Martin's jobs, "Utilisé    Dispo.%Pris" is way
better than "Utilisé de la capacité disponible%". ;-)

Sincerly,
