You are exagerating a bit when you talk about some manuals being translated into french sending you all back to the stone age. Are you honestly saying that the english manuals are all going to be binned? Nothing will change. Some translation agency will be rubbing their hands together and employing a few willing hands, maybe even out of work pilots who knows? It is a bit embarrassing but nothing more. To Air France a million is small change. We can all have a good laugh but lets leave it at that.
