As far as I know the Slackware project does not have any translators,
however this wiki has staff to translate most of the content, I believe
that zithro (http://docs.slackware.com/wiki:user:zithro) is one of our
french translators.

I was recommending for you to work with one of the wiki translators to
assist in translating the slackbook into french so it can be quickly
completed on the wiki and linked to from your site.
