je n’ai plus le
contrôle de l’avion là
J’ai plus du tout le
contrôle de l’avion
Google Translate gives me:

"I have no control of the plane there
I am over the whole control of the plane"

I'm pretty sure there is a more accurate translation, but so far the story from the CVR is one of confusion and disbelief at what the instruments were telling them, rather than a systematic approach to understanding the situation and appropriate recovery. I have been through the entire CVR transcript, but since my French is iffy and my clumsy attempts using Google translate (particularly since the document is columnized) are hard to follow, I'll leave it at that.
