That's a very good question.

Converting them to the new system: one option is to use the db2rst.py
and makebzdocs tools here, which I used to do the initial conversion:
https://github.com/gerv/bzdocs

There's then quite a bit of fixup to do, which I did manually. I'm
afraid I didn't keep records of exactly what I did :-( The other option
is to take the new English docs and copy-paste each para of French into
the structure, but that might be more work.

As for putting them on ReadTheDocs, there's a FAQ answer:

https://docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/faq.html#how-do-i-support-multiple-languages-of-documentation

They want to have full language support, but it's not there yet.
(Patches welcome? :-) In the mean time, the FAQ suggests creating a
project for each language of documentation. So we would have:

bugzilla-fr.readthedocs.org
bugzilla-de.readthedocs.org

etc. and point each of them at the place where you keep your translation
of the docs. Although RTD doesn't support CVS - only Git, SVN, BZR and
Hg - so you'd need to move the Bugzilla docs somewhere else, or use
Subversion SVN.

I note that we only have very old non-English versions of docs linked
from http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/ . You should file a bug in
Bugzilla::bugzilla.org to get that fixed.
