Dropdown Translation WordPress

Kind of simple stuff, but i can’t get it working. I have a drop down field which is like this

<select>
<option value=""><?php _e('Select','responsive'); ?></option>
<option value="<?php _e('some text','responsive'); ?>"><?php _e('some text','responsive'); ?></option>
<option value="<?php _e('some other text','responsive'); ?>"><?php _e('some other text','responsive'); ?></option>
</select>

I just want that to be translated in french when my front end is loading french language through a plugin. I have added translated string for “some text” & “some other text”, but its not working, can anyone points me to right direction ? what i am doing wrong here ?
