We have the exact same idioms in French for the last two (battre le fer pendant qu'il est encore chaud, and revenir à nos moutons) !

> battre le fer pendant qu'il est encore chaud

Do people actually say that? Seems very long winded.

[johnaspden]

Using the power of not pronouncing most of the letters and speaking very very fast, they can get it down to:

batlefe pend ki letencoshow

which is more manageable.

[waterpowder]

Not super often but yes, although we'd often skip the "encore"
