The article is about Kyutai, a French AI lab with an objective to compete with chatgpt and others with full open source (research papers, models, and training data).

They are aiming to also include the capability to use sound, image, etc... (according to this article (French) https://www.clubic.com/actualite-509350-intelligence-artificielle-xavier-niel-free-et-l-ancien-pdg-de-google-lancent-kyutai-un-concurrent-europeen-a-openai.html )

The post article also talks about some French context.

Isn't it Quebec(Canada) you're thinking about?

Ive never seen french code in my jobs, it's in English, Most Frameworks are in English anyway so why would they code in French

PHP Symfony is from a french company, and it's in English, docs also available in English

And there might be translation of english words in French yes, how is it crazy, that's the definition of a language otherwise we would all have the same words for everything and therefore the same language

As a SW Engineer from Germany, you will be surprised how much code exists in other languages. But I would expect companies on the edge of technology, who are either working closely with universities or with open source, that they usually chose English.

In Quebec all code must be in both official languages, Maple and C
