It depends how the statement is intended.
If you want a straight literal translation, i.e. a person is playing the second fiddle (as opposed to the first or third fiddle that are there), He's playing second fiddle is translated "il joue second violon" in French.
If you wish to translate the English idiom "playing second fiddle" referring to having a subordinate position to some leader, there is no direct French translation. You can say "jouer un rôle
secondaire" or "jouer les seconds rôles" for the same meaning.

How do you say in french you like country and western fiddle music?
Discussion on TranslationsThere are two issues with translating this.Firstly, there is no proper French term for "fiddle". French-speakers typically use the word "violon" which is "violin" to refer to the instrument, but the way a fiddle is played and used is very different from the classical violin styles of play. So, it is your prerogative if you wish to use the "violin" piece, which will be italicized in the following translations.Secondly, it is unclear from the question if you wish for the translation to operate on the words "I like country music and western fiddle music." or "You like country music and western fiddle music." If it is the second, it is unclear if the "you" is single or plural, informal or formal. There are two ways to say "you" in french.Translations:I like country music and western fiddle music. = J'aime la musique country et la musique Western du violon.You (informal singular) like country music and western fiddle music. = Tu aimes la musique country et la musique Western du violon.You (formal singular or plural) like country music and western fiddle music. = Vous aimez la musique country et la musique Western du violon.
