Humerous translation error on the Apple site

Bertrand has found on the Apple site a mistake full of consequences in the translation of the page explaining the replacement of the battery of MacBook Air:
On the American version one can read:
If your MacBook Air requires service only because the battery’s ability to hold an electrical charge has diminished, Apple will repair your MacBook Air for a service fee.
In the french version one reads::
Si votre MacBook Air nécessite une réparation uniquement parce que la batterie ne tient plus correctement la charge, nous remplacerons votre MacBook Air pour une somme forfaitaire.
The error in translation states that in France that they will change the entire machine for 139€ including all taxes! At this price, the operation will be certainly be in the red.
