Instead of having separate URLs for each language, consider having the same URL return either English or French text depending on the user's preference. Browsers send an HTTP header called Accept-Language that tells you the user's preferred language, and your application can use that to decide which text to send in its response.

This has the advantage that it works automatically, right from the beginning. The user doesn't have to do anything on your site to choose a language, because the user's browser should be configured to request the correct language by default (based on the OS locale).
