@claude add new french translations to the app. Make sure to read the intrustions for adding a new language (in readme of translation package). Then extract the language for french and translation all the messages. Then based on the transaltions set up an AI_INSTRUCTIONS specific to french based on what makes sense in how french people would say things. Compare the other AI_INSTRUCTIONS to see what should be added. Then based on the AI instructions, do another pass for constitency.

Permission Issue

I was unable to push the changes to the remote repository due to GitHub Actions permissions:

remote: Permission to animo/paradym-wallet.git denied to github-actions[bot].

Next Steps:
The commit is ready and can be pushed manually by someone with appropriate repository permissions, or the GitHub Actions permissions can be updated to allow pushes. All the work is complete and committed locally on the branch.
