Yorkshire pudding is called a 'pudding' because in one UK sense of the word it describes a savory dish; another example of this usage is steak and kidney pudding, which is similar to, but not the same as, steak and kidney pie.

Pudding also means, in its more commonly-known sense, a sweet pudding served as a dessert. One example is rice pudding; another is suet pudding, also known as spotted dick a mixture of suet, dried fruit, spices and syrup, steamed and served with a custard or sweet white sauce.

Another UK use of the word 'pudding' is to describe any dessert at all, in the sense of a sweet course following the main course of a meal: 'The kids will be happy, there's new strawberries and cream for pudding'.

In English, the noun 'pudding' can be traced back to the 1300s; the etymology is unclear but the word is believed to originate from quite different Germanic or Old French terms, each referring to sausage or similar foods.

In English, the noun 'pudding' can be traced back to the 1300s; the etymology is unclear but the word is believed to originate from quite different terms, either Germanic or Old French, each referring to sausage or similar foods. 'Sausage' here is in the sense of a stomach or other large part of an animal's entrails, stuffed with a finely-chopped or minced mixure of meat, offal, suet, spices, and other aromatics, and boiled: like sausages in general, it was and remains a way of using all the bits of the animal, the resulting dish able to be preserved, originally for winter consumption.

This usage of 'pudding' as a sausage-like food remains in still-popular foods such as 'black pudding' and 'white pudding'.

From the 'sausage' usage, the word came to describe other kinds of pudding, both sweet and savory, which were tied in cloth and boiled or steamed. The traditional Christmas pudding, quite different from Christmas cake, is still prepared in this way worldwide.

The modern - and today, the more popular - usage in the sense of sweet puddings and desserts in general dates from the latter part of the 1600s.

There is no proper translation for that dish in French. You can only describe it in cooking term s and ingredients in French.
