Indeed, I am 100% aware that this is not a "translation", as we commonly call it, from
French. I am surprised at the reaction, though! I've done a number of these
_par placard_ translations and haven't even raised an eyebrow.
However, I bet you Babblefish's translation wasn't as humorous. And besides, who ever
said English couldn't be a conlang too?
