OK, I see the problem. There are two options open to you: 

The complicated one is to make a local copy of the gnome-games
installation. Follow the instructions at
http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-games/contributing.html
under the heading "Getting the code". You can ignore most of the rest of
the stuff. Also, add the option "-r gnome-2-8" *after* the commit in the
third cvs command. GNOME 2.8 shouldn't need any software newer than what
Debian has (if you use HEAD you will need to upgrade GTK+ and then life
gets painful). 

Instead yelp (the help viewer) can be given an explicit file to use. At
a shell prompt in the aisleriot/help/fr directory go
'yelp ./aisleriot.xml' and you should get your translated documents as
they would appear if they had been installed. No need for building
anything, no need for installation. Minor details, like whether you have
got the omf file right, I can sort out when I merge it.

You can't screw it up, if it looks OK, it will probably be OK.

Great.

No, I moved to a new distribution a few days ago and I'm in the process
of rebuilding my GNOME development environment, so my copy of gnome-
games isn't quite working yet. Your patch is downloaded and ready to be
applied the moment I can test it. Hopefully by tonight.
