Hi Manu,

thanks for getting involved with the Dia translations!

The easiest way to do that would be a "make install". Be careful because 
you might mess up your
existing stable dia installation.
If you don't mind, "make uninstall" and a reinstallation of the original 
package will bring you back to where you started.
Alternatively, you could only copy the binary translation file over the 
existing installation (if you have a localized one, which I doubt, 
because you see Dia in English - configuration prefixes may add some 
complexity here, but I'm not sure).
Do other software packages (or even better: an existing Dia 
installation) on  your system use the French locale?

In case you're able to run a VM in VMWare Workstation 8 format, you 
could try the one from

http://dia-installer.de/developer/index.html

There you'll be able to run "make install" without messing anything up 
(besides the VM).
