I would like you to go to http://www.findforward.com and translate
everything you see on that first page (except the logo) into French.
Please use this list in your answer with the translation:

The Uber Engine. ->
Forum ->
About [or "Help" if "About" is too uncommon] ->
Find ->
Normal search ->
Only [English] [where "English" is the language you translate to] ->
- Get RSS [Please do not translate "RSS"] ->
- Get Atom [Please do not translate "Atom"] ->
Ask Question ->
All-around ->
Search Grid ->
Chat Search ->
Weblog Newsfeeds ->
Exclude Weblogs ->
Get Questions ->
Global ->
Person Info ->
Thing Info ->
Image ->
Just Files ->
Meta Search ->
Backlinks ->
Directory ->
Old Pages ->
Lucky First ->
Wildcard ->
Randomize ->

To get a feeling I would like you to try out every search for yourself. Thanks!

As ever with translation, there are questions to consider.
Chat is a standard word for chats in chatrooms, but there are some
French-speakers who would like to avoid adopting English words into
the language. If you are keen to avoid "franglais", use "Rechercher
bavardage".

Some French-speakers want to use the word "joueb" (= journal web)
instead of blog, but is that pure French?

I don't think there's a neat way of combining the ideas of being lucky
and going to the first result in a short phrase. "Coup de chance"
means stroke of luck. "Premier résultat" is first result.

There's no French word for the wildcard asterisk. The English word is
used, and may be explained as the "caractère de remplacement"
(replacement character). I've put "remplacer" meaning replace, but you
could just leave it as "wildcard".

Please just ask if you want any further explanation!

I enjoyed experimenting with FindForward, and think it's a great idea
to expand it beyond English. (The 20th century zeitgeist searches are
interesting.)

Search strategy - thought hard, checked thoughts in dictionary, and on Google, e.g.

"back links" liens référents
://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&q=%22back+links%22+liens+r%C3%A9f%C3%A9rents&btnG=Rechercher&meta=

"fils d'Actualités" newsfeeds 
://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&q=%22fils+d%27Actualit%C3%A9s%22+newsfeeds+&btnG=Rechercher&meta=

franglais chat
http://membres.lycos.fr/tsalomon/franglais.html

chat bavardage
://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&q=chats+OR+chat+bavardage&btnG=Rechercher&meta=cr%3DcountryFR

blog OR weblog joueb franglais
://www.google.fr/search?q=+blog+OR+weblog+joueb+franglais&hl=fr&lr=&ie=UTF-8&start=10&sa=N

wildcard remplacer OR remplacement
://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&q=wildcard+remplacer+OR+remplacement&btnG=Rechercher&meta=
