There is English version here.
interrupt calling method are different from that of GWBASIC or BASICA
Refer to User's Guide (PDF) that can be download somewhere.

Turbo BASIC is yet another incarnation of the basic programming language, very simular to microsoft BASIC, with a few extra commands, but lacking interrupt access and inter-program communications functions.

Borland's Turbo Basic, version 1.1
This appears to be the French version as all menus etc are in French
