I am going to visit France, but only in transit (I take Schengen for it). I don't speak English) Do they ask something at customs? And do they check the money?

In principle, they will not ask anything if your luggage is in order. They just watch everything. If anything, they will help you with the translation in the queue. Take as much money with you as is allowed or put it on a card. The French use English only as a last resort))

It's not very clear what you mean by passing? By bus? Most likely they won’t ask anything, but if the Schengen is the first they can rummage through the passport and clarify the details. But how lucky) If at the airport, in principle, they most likely won’t ask anything if you are not going to stay in France.

If you mean air transit to a third (non-Schengen) country through France without changing airports, then you will not even have to go through passport control and customs, you will be in a sterile zone. If the transit is by land, then no questions are asked anyway, well, maybe the purpose of the visit. Answer "tourism", it sounds the same in English, Russian and French.

I have only had to speak to customs officers at the UK border and in Tunisia. I don’t speak English either (I read and translate with Google). But I was quite able to answer questions in Dover, and they understood me. In other places, everything was so short that there is a minimum (hello-thank you) that can be (and usefully) memorized. In France, the main thing is to learn the word bonjour (bonjour), when the stamp is put - merci (merci). The French hate being addressed without a greeting.
