You might find these helpful:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/
Search package directories
Keyword: french
Search on: Descriptions
<http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=french&searchon=all&suite=karmic&section=all>

You can try the same for 'translate':
<http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=translate&searchon=all&suite=karmic&section=all>

You can of course also do this via:
System|Administration|Synaptic...|Quick Search: french

Maybe ktranslator:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/ktranslator
http://ktranslator.sourceforge.net/

Also:
https://help.ubuntu.com/
The help site uses an internal google search engine, so you can try
'dictionary' or 'french' in the search box. But I recommend you take
some time to explore the help site. Good places to start after the
official documentation, is the community contributed documentation:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community
 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Applications
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions
