Translation: French
Based on the current user base, French is a language worth adding to the game.

As I do not speak French, I am filing this issue as an invitation to contribute.
I prefilled with a machine translation. Someone please review and fix https://www.transifex.com/aaaaxy/aaaaxy/ so it can be included!
Be aware that tags like {{ExitButton}} or {{BR}} need to remain unmodified. Transifex marked most of these issues but not all.
Hello, would have been happy to review this translation but there is an error 404 when I go on the website.
The link works for me - I think one first needs to create a Transifex account before one can use it.
I also just created some tests for translations - the game will at startup log errors about mismatched format strings or {{Placeholders}}, and also list most oversized texts (most but not all text is covered; main non-covered stuff is the menu and some text with {{Placeholders}}).
Just improved the automatic verification (see log messages when launching the game with the translation), and fixed all the format string errors in the French translation on Transifex.
Still need to check game output for oversized text and need to either insert line breaks ({{BR}}) - ideally that'd be a translator's job, as I usually put them at a good point for the phrasing - or make text boxes wider (in many places that is possible).
In particular, if you're at the point where you think it's basically complete, and just texts are too wide for their boxes - you may just hand it to me there and I should be able to fix most or all of them without rewording. I believe I have enough basic French knowledge to do that part myself.
FYI I since expanded many text boxes to accommodate Portuguese, and documented reordering support for format strings (use %[1]s, %[2]s etc. placeholders if needed).

I'll be glad to help as I speak French :) I just sent a join request.
There are just some strings that I find unclear because I don't have the context and have never seen them, for example "All Flipped". I know how I need to translate it but it could be more precise if I had context.
That is a speedrun category, similar to Any%, 100%, All Exits, etc. (means that you finish the game with all checkpoints in the flipped/mirrored state).
