VirtualBox only in english

Hello

I have a problem with virtualbox.
It is not possible to change the interface language to French.
There is only English available and
the Default option of virtualnox does not take into account
of the gnome desktop language (french).

How to have the interface in French. Thank you

I have exactly the same problem, did you, or anybody else, fix your problem in the meantime and if yes, how?
Thx a lot
