Some folks are working on internationalization of xboard/WinBoard, and
there is code for it checked into our CVS repository, but none of that
code is in any of the released versions. I'm sure we could use a French
translator, though. Could some of those who are working on this reply
to Carl and tell him how to get started?

There is no GNU Chess or xboard/WinBoard version 1.4.5, so I don't know
what you're referring to there. The current version of xboard/WinBoard
is 4.2.7. The last version of GNU Chess 4 (no longer under development)
was 4.0.80. The current version of GNU Chess 5 is 5.07.

gnuchess.lan is the language file for GNU Chess 4 used in plain text
mode. That is, if you run gnuchesr.exe from the command line, it uses
this file. WinBoard and xboard do not use it at all. GNU Chess 4 is no
longer under development, and people seldom run it without
xboard/WinBoard these days anyway, so adding new translations to
gnuchess.lan is not useful. Sorry if you've wasted time on it.

If you run "gnuchesr -L fre" from a Windows command prompt box, that
should let you see what you did.
