This is the first I've heard of it. How, exactly, have we taken over France?
Captain Picard (a Frenchman), is so obviously English throughout the run of Startrek TNG. He speaks with an English accent and spends his time drinking tea.
My Romulan Liberated Borg character made it to Level 30 and beat the (old) Defense of New Romulus with the skill point bug.

There's also several times in TNG when French is referred to as an archaic language. Picard was fluent, but even he gave himself away as a nonnative speaker despite actually growing up in France. It doesn't appear to be because humans have chosen a unified language, either, since several characters like Chekov have vocal quirks that give them away as nonnative English speakers, so at least some non-English languages are still in use.
Whatever happened to France, it was fairly recent, very late 23rd Century or first half of the 24th. It was still a contemporary language in Enterprise, and there was a French-speaking colony in TOS.

I'm having a senior moment, didn't think of that one, D'Oh

I remember a scene in the german version of one the first episodes of Enterprise Captain Archer tells some alien that humanity actually speaks german. There you have it.

Why not? The British have apparently taken over France.

HOW IS THAT RELATED TO ANYTHING?! And now I'm going to bed. Because I don't know what else to do after having seen... whatever the hell I just saw.
