With the help of Thomas Kuliavas i fixed my problem.  After the 
installation
        of locales on SquirrelMail, the "locale" directory contained fr_CA and 
fr_FR.
        I needed to have it named fr.CA.ISO8859-1.  I am not sure why or if it 
is
        normal but i just made a symbolic link (ln -s fr.CA fr.CA.ISO8859-1) and
        the interface is in french.

        Big thanks to Tomas.
