Answers.Text: It worked thanks @bgm!
  The problem was I put all the files at the root folder of civicrm and not in civicrm/civicrm... I think it's not very well explained in the doc...

Body: <p>I'm trying to translate civicrm into french but can't figure out how to do it.
  I tried to put the l10n and sql folders in wp-content/plugins/civicrm/ and in wp-content/plugins/civicrm/languages. I also tried to put the fr_FR subfolder directly in these folder and directly the l10n/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/civicrm.mo file in the same places.<br>
  I also tried to chown these files and folders to www-data and to run a chmod 777 on them...<br>
  In the admin, only the default english appears, whatever what I try.<br>
  I checked the doc but I couldn't find the wordpress documentation (I just found for joomla and drupal).
  Can you help please?  </p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot!</p>

  For Wordpress, make sure you have the following structure of files:
  plugins/civicrm/civicrm/l10n
  plugins/civicrm/civicrm/l10n/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/civicrm.mo
  plugins/civicrm/civicrm/sql/civicrm_data_fr_FR.sql
  etc
