Original LP Author: [Vincent Fretin](https://launchpad.net/~vincent-fretin) , LP Link: [https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881320](https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881320) In mailman 3.0.0a8, the locales directory contains actually mailman 2 translations. The unsubscribe mail is not translated into French because the msgids are different between mailman2 and mailman3. Do you have a script to generate a pot file and sync the po files? I had to generate myself the French mo file from the po. It's maybe a good idea to include mo files in the sdist, or generate mo files at mailman startup.
