>>> What helped me was:
>>> 
>>> 1. Enable the root user in the Netinfo Manager app (if not done
>>> before)
>> How do you do that? I have never opened that app...
> 
> /Applications/Utilitites/Netinfo Manager in the Security Menu, i think.
> 
>>> 2. Log in as root on the Mac OS X login screen (not in the Terminal)
>> I can only choose between the 2 users I have created or maybe I can
>> choose
>> root as soon as I enable it in the Netinfo Manager app?
> 
> Choose Others... and type in "root" in the name field. The password is
> probably the same as with your main Administrator account - or you
> choose it when you enable root, i can't remember right now.
> 
>>> 3. Set your keyboard/international preferences to French in the System
>>> Preferences App.
>>> 
>>> 4. Log out and re-login with your usual account and fix the
>>> preferences
>>> there.
>>> 
>>> 5. Voila!
