"The Libyan Prince will be powerful in the West, the French will become so inflamed of Arabs, learned in letters he will agree to translate the Arab language into French." ~ Nostradamus III.27
In this quatrain Nostradamus talks about a "Libyan Prince" who would play an important mediatory role during a French-Arab discord.
At this moment none fits the description better than Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi, whose name means the "Sword of Islam", the second son and heir apparent of Libyan President Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.
It appears that a Libyan Prince (i.e. not yet a King), who is well educated as well as has diplomatic abilities and who is acceptable to the west, will mediate (translate the Arab language into French - if we don't take it too literally) between the Arab and the French. The quatrain mentions that something would happen which would cause tensions between the Arabs and the French. Seen in this context, it is apparent that to "translate Arab language into French" in this context does not simply have a literal meaning but may mean that the person concerned would act in a mediatory role between the Arab and the French during the discord. No further indications regarding the cause of the tension is given by Nostradamus nor is it mentioned whether he would be successful in mediating. But some characteristics of the "Prince" is given.
Nostradamus's use of the word "Prince" means that the person concerned is not yet a "King" when he embarks upon the venture. That is to say, he is not yet the supreme leader of the country. Yet, he is substantially influential among the Arabs as well as in the western nations so as to be an acceptable mediator.

“The boy Prince will be powerful in the West, many people scorn work, live off the fruits of others, lead his country to ruin, the land of the Eagle will become the land of the Sloth.” ~ Nostradamus VI.66
