Good job of detective work.
As it happens, the translation is not completely up to date, so AbiWord had
to figure out some way to handle those menu and toolbar items. Rather than
fall back to the English translation, it currently complains loudly in the
ways you've noticed, to help make sure that someone fixes it. ;-)
If you'd like to be that person, grab a copy of the sources and read the
following document for translators:
abi/docs/AbiSource_Localization.abw
Unfortunately the two FrFR files which need updated translations in this
case will need to be compiled into the product. If you (or someone else)
sends us those fixes, we'll be able to include them in the next release.
