Hi @Sunil Ojha

Thank you for this post and your attention to the translations.

I created an excel table with all the names of Premiere Pro effects in English and French. I noticed that some effects weren't translated correctly, and others weren't translated at all.

Here's a breakdown of all these effect and transtions names and what I think their translations should be:

(English name → French translation → My suggestion → Notes)

NOT TRANSLATED

DeHummer	DeHummer	Supprimer les bourdonnement	For consistency with "DeNoise" and to make it clear and understandable.
DeNoise	DeNoise	Supprimer le bruit	For "VR De-Noise" the translation is "Supprimer le bruit VR".
Loudness Radar	Loudness Radar	Radar d’intensité sonore	For "Loudness Meter" the translation is "Indicateur d’intensité sonore".
Binauralizer - Ambisonics	Binauralizer - Ambisonics	Binauraliseur - Ambisonique
Panner - Ambisonics	Panner - Ambisonics	Panoramique - Ambisonique
Brightness & Contrast	Brightness & Contrast	Luminosité et contrast	I think it's more correct to have "et" everywhere.
Center Split	Center Split	Séparation en croix
Split	Split	Séparation
Barn Doors	Barn Doors	Volet du centre
Inset	Inset	Volet du coin
!! EXCEPTIONS !!
Balance	Balance	Balance	These translations are correct !
Volume	Volume	Volume
ASC CDL	ASC CDL	ASC CDL

BAD TRANSLATION OR CAN BE IMPROVED

Black & White	Noir & blanc	Noir et blanc	I think it's more correct to have "et" everywhere.
Channel Mixer	Mixeur de couches	Mixeur de canaux	In sound, we don't say "couche" but "canaux".
DeReverb	Déréverbération	Supprimer la réverbération	For consistency with "DeNoise" and to make it clear and understandable.
DeEsser	Déesseur	Supprimer les sifflantes	For consistency with "DeNoise" and to make it clear and understandable.
Delay	Retard	Delay	In the field of sound, we speak exclusively of "delay" in its English form.
Multitap Delay	Retard de référence sonore multiple	Delay à références	Shorter and simpler.
Flanger	Arrondisseur	Flanger	In the field of sound, we speak exclusively of "flanger" in its English form.
Convolution Reverb	Réverbération par convolution	Réverbération à convolution	We commonly say "à convolution".
Swap Channels	Echanger les couches	Échanger les canaux	In sound, we don't say "couche" but "canaux". And "É" on the capital letter.
ProcAmp	Amplification	Amplificateur de traitement	More consistent translation.
Camera Blur	Défaut de mise au point	Flou de caméra	Simpler and more practical.
Unsharp Mask	Accentuation	Masque flou	"Accentuation" means something that's more precise.
Corner Pin	Quatre coins	Epingler les coins	More understandable.
Rolling Shutter Repair	Correction du rolling shutter	Correction de l'obturateur déroulant	Incomplete translation.
VR Plane to Sphere	Plan VR à sphère	Plan à sphère VR
Color Key	Masquage par couleur	Incrustation par couleur	For "keying" we say "incrustation".
Luma Key	Incrustation Luminance	Incrustation par luminance	Adding "par" makes more sense.
Track Matte Key	Incrustation Cache de piste	Incrustation par cache de piste
Alpha Glow	Luminescence Alpha	Lueur alpha	"Glow" is often translated as "lueur"
Brush Strokes	Animer peinture	Coups de pinceau	More understandable.
Edge Feather	Lissage	Lissage des contours	More precise and clear.
Horizontal Flip	Miroir horizontal	Retourner horizontalement	A "flip" is not exactly a "miroir" effect.
Vertical Flip	Miroir vertical	Retourner verticalement
Morph Cut	Séquence de morphing	Morphose	In French we could just say "morphing", but its correct translation is "morphose".
VR Random Blocks	Zones aléatoires VR	Carreaux aléatoires VR	It is more coherent to speak of "carreaux".
Random Blocks	Zones aléatoires	Carreaux aléatoires
Slide	Déplacer dessus	Glisser dessus	More understandable and accurate.
Pinwheel	Roue dentée	Roue à vent	Or "moulin à vent". That's more correct.
Spiral Boxes	Spirale	Spirale en carré	Specifying "en carré" is more understandable.
Zig-Zag Blocks	Balayage bidirectionnel	Zigzag en carré	"Zigzag" is said in French. Specifying "en carré" is more understandable.

DETAILS

Echo	Echo	Écho	For "Simple Parametric EQ" the translation "Égalisation paramétrique simple" does have an accent on the capital letter. For consistency, put an "É" each time.
Graphic Equalizer (10 Bands)	Egaliseur graphique (10 bandes)	Égaliseur graphique (10 bandes)	"
Graphic Equalizer (20 Bands)	Egaliseur graphique (20 bandes)	Égaliseur graphique (20 bandes)	"

Lightning	Eclairs	Éclairs	"
