About French translation to Codev

So there's a conflict between two maintainers ? The "official" one being in fact a fork that its maintainer no longer wants to update. But as the original is still maintained (and apparently used), can we really say that these translations are not used ? This is a problem from the MantisBT project, that decided to use an unmaintained version of Codev, and may be MantisBT could change its policy and decide to create rits own separate fork of CodeV to effectively use these translations.
