It would appear that this is an error in the french translation of the sample data.

@Bakual can you handle the reporting of this to the correct place. I am not sure where that is.

Closing here.

Just to know, there is a specific place for those issues ?

I'd assume it has to be told the people from https://www.joomla.fr/. But pinging @infograf768 is probably the faster way ?

Isn't the repo here: https://github.com/infograf768/fr-FR-3.x ?

Ok thanks, i will do that.

The custom French distribution by joomla.fr includes these sample datas.
It was thought at a time that it was not necessary to modify the installation ini files for core and the custom distrib.

I will inform them that it has confused a user (first time since joomla exists ☺ ) and I will modify the 3.7.3 installation ini files to prevent this confusion in core.

Corrected in core (and also updated, @Bakual .

Thanks infograph,

I made this post after seeing several users (forum.joomla.fr) who tried this installation with 'Brochure'.
( but I don't anderstand where is the 'confusion' ).

@jbreeding
marc, if you need to use the custom french sample data, you have to pick the distro from joomla.fr

Of course Jean Marie, and that's what i did...
Joomla 3.7.2 - Édition francophone v1 Nouveau! 05/23/2017

Oh, in this case, there is an issue with that release. I will transmit.

BTW I confirm, when using the French distro and brochure sample data, we do get that error.

Thank you for your report.
I will see the origin of the error and propose a new version of the French pack. Probably tomorrow or Saturday.

Here is the new sql in the meanwhile:

Thank you JM.
