In Watson Assistant, you can create a workspace and specify the language. French is in the list. Editing the exported workspace JSON directly, would be tempting but probably not supported. Not sure what else I can say about that. So, you can build and export a French equivalent to our workspace.

Our FAQ docs are in English too. I do not currently see French in my language list for that. You should check with your Discovery service as the supported languages will probably grow. Right now, our chatbot actually answers most questions with the Assistant dialog/intents and so you could do most if it that way, if necessary, and have a nice chat w/o the Discovery FAQ lookup.

When calling tone/nlu you can specify a language or use auto-detect. Both support French. I tend to hard-code English so that I don't get auto-detect errors when it can't pick a language (e.g. "no"), but you can use auto-detect and just catch/ignore the errors or hard-code fr if that works for you.

We haven't looked closely at the code to make sure it works globally, so you might hit something else but I would not expect much trouble with French. If you want dynamic multi-lingual then there'd be more work.
