Hello, I want to translate the display of the administration of Admin Tools in French. Only, even if I translate the language keys I need in the com_admintools.ini. Nothing is translated on the administration display. Thus, I would like to know how should I proceed and yet this same method works with Datacompliance. THANKS.

All of our Joomla software uses Joomla's standard language API for translations. We didn't reinvent the wheel. So, you need to do standard Joomla stuff to translate it in a different language.
Assuming “French (France)” as your language (as opposed to “French (Canada)”, for example).
Joomla 3: Copy administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_admintools.ini to administrator/language/fr-FR/fr-FR.com_admintools.ini
Joomla 4: Copy administrator/language/en-GB/com_admintools.ini to administrator/language/fr-FR/com_admintools.ini
Note that the difference between Joomla 3 and 4 is whether the file also has the language tag (fr-FR) as part of its name.
Translate the copied file and make sure it's a valid INI file. Joomla will not load the entire language if even one line has an error.
