Recently, I have updated the fr_FR.ts file with "lupdate" and added the
path to the relevant Qscintilla source files. That's why the strings now
show up in the linguist.
But please don't translate them. QScintilla has a french translation
file which is now loaded and used by the gui. If you pull cset
cd29604214c5 and start octave, you should see the context menu in the
editor and the editor styles in the settings dialog in French.

I will update fr_FR.ts again without Qscintilla (maybe tonight). After
that, please only translate the few missing gui strings like cursor
types etc.
