I'll take this opportunity to highlight that Scikit-Learn (Open Source ML library) is developed in large part by INRIA (based in Paris) and people have been relying on their code for preprocessing, baselines, and the rest for a long time. And all of the documentation is in English.
On the other side, MicMac which is by far the best free photogrammetry package, is developed by France's IGN and it's loaded with French comments, function and variable names etc...
However the English wiki has come a LONG way since I first had to try to figure it out, and while it's still much more of a box of tools and parts than a single click app, it's likely gone from "set of blueprints and sack of unsorted bolts" to "kit car with rolling chassis"
The difference here is that MicMac was probably developed as an internal tool, with no intention to distribute it at first.
Good for them. I has different experiences.
