I've treated that translation as unreliable, because from what I have heard the official translation was poorly done.

According to Fraggle's documentation of the DOS version of Doom2F, the ENDOOM lump uses "L'Enfer sur Terre".

It's definitely more correct than the article-less version. If at all it should be corrected in the translation sheet.

I was just told by the guy I asked that it was how he would've translated it himself. He explained that it was an idiomatic expression. So it should be fine.

The translation looked correct, but of course I do not know if the game used something else internally. The translation sheet says "Enfer sur Terre", without the article.

Fair enough, if I get told I did the translation part wrong then I'll go ahead and update it.

Looks good to me.

I put it in a pull request for now so it doesn't get completely forgotten about - https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom/pull/1027/files

I have a commit in process but I am asking someone to look at it for me for the French translation I used to make sure it is correct.

Ok, if it got one which isn't present in the regular one, it's easy to detect without adding new detection features.

Yes - doom2f.wad is missing the following lumps:

m_rdthis
m_epi1
m_epi2
m_epi3
m_episod
wiostf

and has gained the following lumps:

Is there any way to detect the French version just from looking at the WAD directory?

When i store DOOM2F.WAD, the iwad of the french DooM II version, amoung other iwads in /home/funduke/.config/gzdoom , it is displayed in the Iwad selection dialog, that is displayed, when i run gzdoom without arguments, but only when the regular v. 1.9 DOOM2.WAD is not present in that directory. If both of them are present in that directory, the dialog offers only the regular english DOOM2.WAD for selection
Could please you change that behaviour in a way that both versions are selectable?

Funduke
