French localization: Plan mode still appears as “Forfait” in the macOS desktop app

Description

In the French interface of the unified ChatGPT/Codex desktop app for macOS, the Plan interaction mode is still displayed as “Forfait”.

This is the same translation error previously reported for the VS Code extension in #33689. That issue was closed as fixed, but the incorrect label remains in the macOS desktop app.

“Plan” appears to have been translated in the sense of a subscription or pricing plan. In this context, “Forfait” is incorrect.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use the ChatGPT/Codex desktop app on macOS with the interface language set to French.
  2. Open Codex.
  3. Select Plan mode.
  4. Look at the mode label in the composer.

Actual behavior

The mode label is displayed as:

Forfait

Expected behavior

The mode label should be displayed as:

Plan

Environment

  • Product: unified ChatGPT/Codex desktop app
  • Operating system: macOS
  • Interface language: French
  • First noticed: approximately mid-July 2026
  • Still reproducible: July 27, 2026

Additional context

A screenshot captured on July 27, 2026 confirms that the composer displays the lightbulb icon followed by “Forfait”.

Related issue for the VS Code extension: #33689.
