I don't mean to be rude, but are you 100% sure you are using it correctly?
First of all the ubuntu the package is: language-pack-fr-base
If you have that package installed REPLACE this file:

/usr/share/locale-langpack/fr/LC_MESSAGES/software-properties.mo

..with your 100% translated file. It should be in .mo format (NOT .po).
If you don't have a .mo file, you can choose "MO format" and download it from here:
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/software-properties/+pots/software-properties/fr/+export

Lastly, I was just checking out the translation status:
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/software-properties/+pots/software-properties

As you can see in the attached screenshot, only 33% of the french translation is included (green colour), and about 44% is new and *not* packaged (purple colour).
