Not quite a dupe, @DoubleAA. That one wants English online. This one is broader: English or French; physical or digital. An answer to the other would be an acceptable answer to this too, though.– TRiGCommented Jan 26, 2015 at 15:50

I do not really care. I need a translation to help me understand the original version in Hebrew.– far22Commented Jan 27, 2015 at 15:28

@far22 <<I need a translation to help me understand the original version in Hebrew>> The original Zohar is not written in Hebrew. Most of it is in Aramaic.– RibbisRabbiAndMoreCommented Jun 5, 2018 at 17:39

Prof. Daniel Matt has a 12-volume translation and commentary of the Zohar in English, see here or amazon. The publisher's summary reads
This is the first translation ever made from a critical Aramaic text of the Zohar, which has been established by Professor Daniel Matt based on a wide range of original manuscripts. The work spans twelve volumes. The extensive commentary, appearing at the bottom of each page, clarifies the kabbalistic symbolism and terminology, and cites sources and parallels from biblical, rabbinic, and kabbalistic texts.
Wikipedia lists some French translations but I never saw them.
