Years ago I paid a French couple in Quebec to build 100 basic AVS sites for me in French, My wife who is French checked them out and said they were correct in pretty much every French dialect and there are a few of them.
They did OK, the AVS I was dealing with had a French tour which was written in Parisian French which is different in some ways from Quebec French, and not very well written.
The experiment paid for itself over the course of a year, but barely. I promoted a few on French SE's and a couple of French LL's but didn't get much traffic.
I did a couple of Latina sites for the same AVS in English though and promoted on Spanish LL's and SE's and had better results. I think their Spanish tour option made the difference.
I won't mention the AVS's name because they are a bunch of thieving scumbags who buggered off to Panama. Nobody else had multilingual tours so I've never tried it since.
