As a native English speaker living in France, I notice a lot of translations from English into French as being less-than-accurate. It's most obvious when journalists are trying to translate live. The recently concluded Tour de France was a standout example of this as journalists with responsable English sought to translate what English-speaking supporters/fans and riders had said. Sometimes it is close enough, but some commentators and journalists get it really, really wrong - on in particular (who seems to be rolled out for any sport where the winners are likely to speak English) is famously bad, sometimes inventing what he WISHED the person speaking had said rather than something close to what the person actually said. Good for a chuckle when its not consequential, but potentially disastrous for more serious matters.
