Hi Remy,

what Sheldon wrote is true, but answering your original questions:
The clip+ should be great for your purposes. I have one running with voiced
menus due to a broken screen. Alternatives would be Clip Zip or Sansa E200
(the version with FM radio). They are available used on *bay.
There is no need for you to translate anything. It's already done. French
voice files are available on the rockbox website.

If you want me to, I can package a zip file for you with everything set up
properly, so you just have to unzip onto your player.
I suggest you run chkdsk on you player first. It was not completely clear
to me whether you have installed Rockbox on your player (at least the
bootloader).

Cheers
Johannes
