Dotclear blogging software and a captcha plugin

I really like the blog software I am using, dotclear version 1.2.7.1. I only have one problem. It is developed almost exclusively in French. That isn’t a totally bad thing, but my French is barely passable on a really good day. All the comments, documentation, and most of the original site configuration were in French. I was able to find and translate almost everything myself (see here for the lone exception…). Thankfully the php and xhtml are extremely clear and well written (which is a huge part of why I like this package).

The problem is that I have been receiving a lot of comment spam the last few days and I have not yet found a good captcha plugin in English. This one has potential, but I was hoping to do something that wouldn’t require me sitting down and rewriting all the tables, etc., from French to English. I would love to find a simple arithmetic based captcha, so the site wouldn’t require the use of images and could remain fully accessible and usable, even to people using text-only browsers.

Does anyone out there know of anything suitable?
