Comments do not seem to be covered. Whether your customer wants comments in French is another matter entirely, but the Loi Toubon seems to be directed at external use of language - contracts, events, invoices, advertising, manuals etc. As scope is specifically mentioned (la description de l'étendue), specificatons need to be in French (or a regional language - see article 21).
(Usual provisions apply - IANAL, don't believe anything you read on the internet, etc.)
- nbernard 5y agoDepends... If one considers the source code as being (part of) the program's documentation, then it should be in French?

- AlDante2 5y agoThe law does not require documentation to be in French, only manuals and operating instructions. But, as two other people have pointed out, the buyer may require comments to be in French. This is then a contractual requirement, not a requirement of the Loi Toubon.
