| At least, the entire account signup process (on www.paypal.fr) has French pages. I assumed that when logging in with a PayPal.fr account, the payment process and confirmation email would be in French. But so much time has passed since I last used PayPal that I don't even remember ... |

C'est "Retour à Planamesa Software NeoOffice.org".
Pour vérifier, il faut refaire un don

Payment process could be in English but confirmation e-mail will be in French

I confirm that payment process is in French. The site is "paypal.fr". All is in French. And the title of the button is
"Retour à Planamesa Software NeoOffice.org"
@Samwise : I think it's a bit long. Maybe "Retour à Planemesa Software" would be sufficient in the translation ?

I agree with your suggestion. I'm still working on maindownload.php though. I'm having a lot of trouble translating the following line :
While many free software products like Firefox and OpenOffice.org are funded by huge donations from large corporations, NeoOffice has no corporate sponsors.
The words corporate and corporation, in particular, seem very difficult to get right. Here's what I came up with so far :
Contrairement à de nombreux logiciels libres comme Firefox et OpenOffice.org qui sont financés par d'importantes donations [ou] d'importants subsides provenant de grandes sociétés [ou] entreprises, NeoOffice n'est pas parrainé par des sociétés.
The words in italics are the ones I'm not sure of. |

"subsides", c'est bon, je trouve 
Pour la suite, pourquoi pas :
… provenant de grandes sociétés, NeoOffice ne bénéficie pas de tels parrainages (pour éviter une répétition) ?

NeoOffice n'a pas de mécènes institutionnels ?
Cela irait avec les subsides (un peu trop rafinés ?)

Je suis d'accord avec la suggestion de Jacqueline (qui en plus s'accorde bien avec la suite de ma traduction).
mécènes institutionnels est effectivement très (trop) "raffiné", alors que subsides me semble acceptable. |

IMHO 'subside' induit une notion, plus ou moins négative, de dépendance ou de précarité, voire de difficulté…

| Ce n'est pas faux. Cependant, même OpenOffice.org ne roule pas sur l'or, si vous voyez ce que je veux dire ... |

Antidote says :
"Donation : Acte par lequel un donateur transmet gratuitement et définitivement un bien à un donataire qui l’accepte."
"Subside : Montant d’argent remis à une personne réelle ou morale pour l’aider, le (sic) subventionner." Right, isn't it?
Thus I prefer "subside" et je préfère "Contrairement" en début de phrase, comme l'a prévu Samwise.
Just a thought
Translation is a dreadfully difficult job

I could always use the word "subvention" instead of "subside".  |

Yes, I agree, it's better.
