I guess you know the existence of debian-l10n-french, whose address is
displayed at the bottom of each translated page, so that you can report
any issue like mistranslation, lack of clarity, or anything you think is

Same as software, translation might be broken. If the people that notice this
brokenness don't report it to anyone, it will be kept broken.
Thanks for your future reports :)
