Does the USCIS accept evidences in french language because all the evidences that I might send are in french and it will be very expensive to translate it all. Is it enough to just write a letter explaining the concern of the consular officer question without sending any evidence to prove that? thanks in advance

From my reading, you do not have to hire a paid translator to translate your documents. Anyone proficent in both languages in question may translate. You just have to have the translator write out a statement that this is a true and accurate translation of the documents in question, sign and date the statement.

Copies of official documents that are submitted to USCIS need to have translations, however, items such as emails, chat logs, letters, etc. do not require translations.
