Just out of curiosity and certainly not to nitpick, but shouldn't the French version of this page have warned of the dangers/pitfalls of a Francophone asking an Anglophone to do translation for them, and not simply used "Francophone" on both pages (which doesn't make sense)?
It seems like they simply translated the English text to French without giving much thought to what was actually being said... which is ironic, given the context of the message.
Did anyone else spot that?
