Because Frenchies like to be French and would like to remain different in a world where everything is "Holliwoodized".

OK the real reason is they suck at learning English so they need to translate everything ;-)

Being French I'd appreciate if HN remained free of the usual French bashing that is common on Anglo-saxon forums.

I don't understand, people still react like we were a country that matters ...

Not really, Swedes are #1 in the world at English as a second language and aren't afraid to flaunt it, but we also translate most technical terms. It's just way easier to use in a conversation.
