no, AFAIK there isn't. The problem you are describing is dependant on
the French translation. I use JOSM in English because I think it is
horrible to click on German (or other language) presets to set English
tags. I suggest to maintain control over the tagging process to use
JOSM in English (or probably offer the user a possibility to have the
presets in English and the rest of the programm in your native
language if you wish this).
