Description
When running, for example, LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 cargo run -q rm --help, the help text for the --help and --version options is not localized:
// snipped
-d, --dir supprimer les répertoires vides
-v, --verbose expliquer ce qui est fait
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
The translations already exist in the .ftl files in uucore/locales, but are never used.

Start by inspecting the existing translations in uucore/locales and run LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 cargo run -q rm --help to reproduce the untranslated options. Trace how the --help and --version text is generated, then verify that both use the available localized strings and that the command output is translated.
