>I realize that French is French, both in Canada and in France.

That's debatable. Besides some significant differences in idioms:

- Be careful guessing where someone is from if they're speaking French. If they're French and you guess French-Canadian, quite a few will feel insulted. OTOH I've never seen a French-Canadian feel insulted if you guess they're French. So, always better to guess French, at least at first ;)

- A friend of mine was living in Aix-en-Provence. One day she was watching the local (French-language) news on TV and then-Quebec Premier Rene Levesque was being interviewed. While he was speaking, French subtitles were shown. Of course, as I understand it Levesque had an accent even some French-Canadians thought was pretty thick :)

I believe some OSs will let you localize either French or French (Canadian).
