OK, that's now in the article. No question that "Rally of the Republican Lefts" is literal. We should probably look at some English-language newspapers of the time to see what they did with this. "The
Three-parties alliance" also seems awkward. -

I checked Google Books and found "Rally of Left Republicans", e.g.
[1],
[2], which seems more natural, so I moved it there. I suppose they are both Left and Republican.

"Gauches" ("Lefts") is used in a French political context - it's not referring to several left-wing people, but to several left wing ideologies or movements. It is the correct translation even if it's not a term used much (at all?) in English-speaking countries.

I don't think there is such a word as "lefts" in English. As a noun "the left" is always singular. A possible translation would be "Rally of Republican Left-Wing Movements". But it seems simpler and more compact to follow the form used in the books, even if it is not absolutely precise. The RGR pulled together people and movements that were left-wing (some of them) and Republican.

Other issues
When we say "the more active groups" in the Resistance, do we perhaps want to say "the most active groups"?
When we say "In the same time" do we mean "In the same time period" or "Nonetheless"?
When we say "the French left was defined as
republican and the right as pro-
monarchy" it might be clearer to say "left in France simply meant "not
monarchist".
