Incomplete French Translation in Cinnamon on Arch Linux

Hello everyone,

I’m currently using Arch Linux with the Cinnamon desktop environment (see system information below), and I’ve noticed that the French translation is incomplete in several parts of the interface. On Linux Mint, the translation is fully implemented, but this doesn't seem to be the case with Arch Linux. Here are a few examples:

    When right-clicking on the desktop, options like "Create new document" and "Create new folder" remain in English.
    The navigation bar in Nemo is still in English, along with most of Nemo’s interface.

I’ve ensured that my system locale is set to French and that all related language packs are installed, but the issue persists. Is this a known problem, or is there something additional I need to configure to get a fully translated interface in Cinnamon on Arch?

System Information:

    Operating System: Arch Linux
    Cinnamon Version: 6.2.9
    Linux Kernel: 6.11.2-zen1-1-zen
    Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core Processor x 8
    Memory: 31.3 GiB
    Hard Drives: 2504.8 GB
    Graphics Card: NVIDIA Corporation GA104 [GeForce RTX 3070]
    Display Server: X11

I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this issue. Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
