Research direction
The issue requests localization support for khal, a CLI calendar app. The user offers to translate into French. Currently, the codebase does not have any i18n setup. Investigate using Python's gettext module to extract strings from the source code. Look at files like khal/ui/ init .py or similar for user facing text. Check the comments for any previous discussion on preferred approach. Consider creating a translation template (.pot) and a French translation file (.po).
