Forum homepage should be translated into the chosen language

DISCLAIMER: I am not fluent in French. I only switched my language to French for school and to show this.

Today I decided to switch my language to French to brush up on my French for various reasons. Me being me, of course I would go browse the forums, expecting that the forum names and descriptions would be translated into French. However, they weren't. I'll put a picture of most of the forum homepage to prove that the names and titles aren't translated.



I also noticed that the subheaders for subforum categories weren't translated either. I suggest that the forum homepage and subforums are 100% translated.

That’s what the language sub-forums are for

I know, it's just that some people may have English as their first language but have to set the language of the site to the language they are studying.

There are many French speaking Scratchers and translators - don't you think they would have translated it by now? I believe the Scratch Team chose to not translate the forum homepage because non-English speakers might think that those forums are for their language, when in reality it's English only.

Yes, but they can look through the language they are studying’s forum or ‘Other Languages’ if their language isn’t there.
