What are your language preferences set to in your browser?

Did you translate the template files in /usr/share/cups/templates to
a new /usr/share/cups/templates/fr subdirectory?

The home page is a static HTML file, but the other pages are all
generated on-the-fly.

Also, it would be useful to have a link to your PPD file as well as
the locale that is reported in the error_log file...
