France is already on their "Fifth Republic" since the revolution, and they do have a system that's quite western and similar overall to ours. Our constitution has amazingly never undergone the kinds of revision that the French system has in it's various iterations. But there are many detailed differences - for example, what they call a "juge d'instruction" is often what we would think of as a district attorney. To them, to refer to a DA as an "attorney" must sound strange too. These sorts of things are almost impossible to really translate.
