You are right, let's see what a native speaker of french has to say.
Hi again alip08!

Well, I´m glad to see that you´re well informed about my ID , but that it´s a not reason to know or understand more than others ... we are always learning and we never know too much . On the other hand, I think the fact of being a translator sometimes it´s tricky, because the more languages we know, the more is risky to fail in something, and we should be carefull.

It´s a kind of that Italian adage "Traduttore, Traditore!"

See you!
