Hello thanks for your reply to my issue.I think the problem should be with my skin because I used the same french language pack with another portal and a differend skin and all the translation are working.I double checked my html skin code and I cannot figure out where the problem is.Here is the code,if it's not there I can show you the css or xml code.Thanks

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style1 {color: #FFFFFF}

<span class="style1"></span>
