I've always thought that listing their biggest sponsors during alliance selection is a very classy way for a team to acknowledge the partnership between the sponsor and the team. What if an employee, executive, or owner of the sponsor is at the competition think of how far simply mentioning the company's name would go with that individual.
I would definitely not list every single person that has given your team money, but if you have two or three main sponsors I see nothing wrong with mentioning their partnership.
Back to OP's question, I think a simple "Team ####, <Team Name>, would like to invite Team ####, <Other Team's Name> (or omit their name if you don't know it), to join our alliance" is sufficient for an invitation. "Team ####, <Team Name>, gratefully accepts." works just fine for accepting whether or not you decide to list your main sponsors in either situation.
As for French, I have no idea but I'm sure you could find someone at that party of an event that can help you out.
