For several years, a group (disclaimer: I'm not a member) is
translating various RFCs in French:

http://abcdrfc.free.fr/

4646 is already translated.

I regard the translation of RFC as mostly a waste of time:

* RFCs (standards track) are normative so translation is more risky
* they are interesting only for a small number of persons, who
  typically read english

I suggest to translate instead the Web site
<http://www.langtag.net/> which is intended for a broader audience
(and which exists only in english, which is ironic).
