Translate remaining French strings in msgina.dll

"Voyez (avec) votre administrateur système" sounds too "spoken"
French.

I'd really be in favour of something more... "written". Consultez,
contactez, whatever.

administrateur système » ; in english “please see” can be said. I would not
say it is a false friend, but better proper translation; indeed when you
translate from language X to language Y you are not obliged to do
word-by-word translation if you know that in language Y there is another way
to say the same thing (eg. If you see “when pigs will fly” you won’t
translate by “quand les cochons voleront” in French, but instead you’ll say
“quand les poules auront des dents”).
