Air Canada - Canada’s Official Languages

Everyone knows that Air Canada is proud to serve their customers in English and French. Here’s what they’ve written on their Comment Cards.
“The choice is yours…
the pleasure to serve you is ours
Canada’s Official Languages
Air Canada is commited to offering you services in English and French. Should you have any questions or comments regarding our official languages services, contact us at OLLO@aircanada.ca or go to aircanada.com and click on Contact US / Linguistic Affairs.”
That’s funny to read, on the same card, an erroneous French translation for “Air Canada values your travel experience […]”. They’ve translated it into “Nous attachons beaucoup de prix à l’expérience que font nos clients[…]”. I won’t explain why it’s wrong to translate it like that, but trust me, it is.

What’s also funny is that I write a post about translation, but I can’t even write English perfectly myself.
