In English it means a mangled combination of English and French, produced either by poor knowledge of one or the other language or for humorous effect. If one tries to speak French and fill in gaps in your knowledge with English words or false friends with their incorrect meaning, the result is Franglais. Or it may mean a diplomatic compromise such as UTC.
