There are no plans for this. It's not in the scope at the moment. Post-release maybe. But for now you'll just have to bear with it.

It's a typical topic, but English-only videogames are a very good way of learning and improving English

Game is a leisure not a work or boring acitvity.
When I play, I hate to search in a dictionnary each seconds to find the translation of english words.
If english is easy, It's doesn't matter but if english is difficult like in some games (adventures games or rpg games), it's a pain to play in english without french subs.

This is always the same with videogames. Translations are costly and indie games do not have uber-budgets so they are likely to be just in English. There surely are many people willing to translate the game into their mother languages but it's up to Almost Human to help those people or not. I'm sure they will if they think it's the best thing for the game, but it's probably still too soon to know that.
By the way, ravenloft (nice game

), learning a language through a videogame can be a leisure too. I'm Spanish and I greatly improved my fluency in English playing videogames, and I did enjoy them a lot; some of them I still enjoy sometimes

They could pull a Mojang and allow the fans to translate.

find in a french forum
J'ai bien l'impression que la traduction FR n'est pas prête d'arriver...
Parlant bien anglais, j'ai décidé d'envoyer un MP a celui qui a commencé la traduction, voici sa réponse :
"Salut,
Beaucoup de personnes m'ont envoyé des PM concernant cette traduction, mais pour le moment je suis coincé, car les developpeurs et l'éditeur du jeu ne veulent pas de FAN-TRAD car cela touche au code source du jeu et autres hack pour le francisiez.
Bonne journée."

It seems that developpers have forbid translations of game made by fan.
It is very strange. I am very disappointed by developpers.

If you're talking about Grimrock, as long as you manage to do so without distributing any of the original data (i.e, make a patch instead of distributing changed game files), you should be ok.

Je peux parler en français pour répondre a ce post je suppose ? ^^
D'abord, le jeu ne propose pas de bande son parlée. Uniquement du texte...
Deuxièmement, les textes "in game" sont assez rares, ils concernent les énigmes et autres commentaires sur le donjon, sont sur parchemin et on peut facilement les traduire avec un dictionnaire.
Ma technique : Alt + Tab en jeu, google trad, et hop... retour en jeu. Le "ALT TAB" fonctionne parfaitement.
Quand aux "cinématiques", elles se résument à peu de chose près en une "voix" mystérieuse (écrite) qui te demande de la rejoindre tout en bas pour t'enfuir avec elle.
Bref ! Ne pas parler anglais ne pose aucun problème pour jouer à grimrock.
