According to series creator Yuji Horii Dragon Quest VII and Dragon Quest VIII for the 3DS will both be heading West at some point. When Speaking at the Japan Expo in Paris, France the creator made a slip up about the games coming out in the French language. Here are a few tweets on the subject.
Yuji Horii has just announced DQ7 and 8 will be released “in French”…?! Apparently a last minute announcement here at Japan Expo.

À Japan Expo, quelques heures après notre interview, Yūji Horii vient de confirmer sur scène la sortie “in French” de DQVII et VIII ! — Final Fantasy Ring (@ffring) July 4, 2015
Horii actually did mention 3DS for Dragon Quest VII and VIII localization. The translator got upset when he did.
