Sorry about that. It was a bug in Language.php that I introduced at 23:35.
I thought I had fixed it at 00:20 UTC, but it wasn't fixed and nobody
re-reported it on #wikimedia-tech until 01:11 UTC. I was busy in the
interim with a number of other serious site issues.

Note that the problem wasn't a lack of respect for the French language,
rather it was accidental and near-complete breakage of MediaWiki's
internationalisation functionality.
