Ok, I found some links:

From AFP, in French:

AFP: Air France condamne en appel traduire en franais des documents techniques

Conservative newspaper Le Figaro (in French):

Le Figaro - Flash Actu : Air France/sécurité:des pilotes en colère

It is interesting to note that the reader's comments on that last article are overwhelmingly against the verdict.

Lastly, the union in question's web page (hosted on a free server )

I haven't been able to find the text of the sentence, but from the news clippings above the gist of it is that it has been brought under the so-called Allgood Act, a super chauvinist law which has been causing nothing but trouble since it was enacted back in 1994. Its repeal is long overdue (notwithstanding that it should never have been passed in the first place, but there you go).
