Go for English.

English is the language of this industry. Pretty much a must have thing.
For example I only have English CV, even though I applied to local companies.

If you have more time go for both, but English should be #1, at least in my opinion. :)

Well if you want to help those people, write blog posts in French and keep the code base in English. Kinda force them to get used to English for programming.

For example use English variable names, comments. But, in the post use French.

Agreed, I think go for both if you have the time, but if you don't English is probably better.

If you ever want someone to proofread your English posts here, feel free to mention me (@andy ) in a comment under your unpublished article. :)
