The modern world requires an international perspective. Billard is French for billiards.

Who has a spare two minutes to play in this month's FG Trivia game! ... My other OS is Slackware. Écrasez l'infâme! When you design tactics to maximise suffering on civilian populations and your only constraint is operational rather than moral, you've told the world who you are.

I expect if you type billiards into http://translate.google.com/translate_t?langpair=en|fr you'll get a better sense of the matter.
What's wrong with a French game keeping its title while translating its text into English for English game sites? When English games go the other way into French I'm sure quite a few of them do that, the game name is as much for product recognition as for meaning.

Why French ?
Are we in the business of discriminating against oh say...Haitian games ?
Is that what were doing here, oppressing the 3rd world's rights to be heard ?
