Ok. For the GUI translatio it's very easy :

1 - I have deleted the «empty» and don't exist (why ???) 'en_GB.po' file from
de kdevelop project.

2 - Add the fr.po file for the French translations.

3 - Cleanup and rebuild the project -> makefile.am changes -> creating
kdenlive.pot and fr.po file in /po folder.

4 - Commits all changes and add 'kdenlive.pot' & 'fr.po' in CVS

5 - Translating fr.po file with kbabel...

Thats all...

For the DOC, it's more dificult because kdevelop don't have the good way for
creating and changing the makefile.am in the doc folder. This feature comming
soon with gideon release of kdevelop...

Important : The translators don't work with a docbook file directly for the
documention translations. The makefile build a .po file for this. When the
translations is done, a new docbook file is created (typicaly :
help_en.docbook -> help_en.pot -> help_fr.po -> help_fr.docbook).
