[GLLUG] Spot the cheap Chinese fake

I really like all the mistakes, typos and just plain laziness in some of
the translated text.

English: "INDOOOR", "USE ONLY FOR USE"

French: "POUR UTILISATION AVEC DU MATERIEL DE TRAITEMENT DEL INFORMATION
SEULEMAT"
should have been: "POUR UTILISATION AVEC DU MATERIEL INFORMATIQUE
SEULEMENT.

CAUTION (FR: Attention) translated to AVIS (EN: Opinion, notification).

There must be plenty of other inconsistencies in the other language
translations. These made me smile. Thanks for sharing.
