Copilot doesn't translate in French when I speak French to it, it only understands English
When I use the language functionality in Copilot, on both my desktop and my iPhone, the translation doesn't work in non-English languages.

Try the same sentence as typed French first. If typed text works but speech does not, the problem is voice recognition rather than translation. For live spoken translation, Microsoft Translator's conversation mode is usually more reliable than Copilot voice, while Copilot feedback should include the incorrect transcript.
