I'm not doing the translation myself, I'm just creating a decent ebook for it.
To answer your question, though, Hitler never ordered a French translation because he was thoroughly against the idea. A possible explanation for this is that maybe he didn't want the French people to know about his plans.
Les Nouvelles Éditions Latines basically translated it against his will.

Yep, correct. However after having spent many, many hours trying to improve not only the epub itself but also the text (noting every error as I read through it), I found a PDF which contained a much cleaner version of the text. Obviously PDFs don't convert well to epubs, so I had to convert it into HTML, clean the whole thing using a lot of REGEX, then insert the cleaner text in the epub that I had already rebuilt.
