Article L.1321-6 of the Labor Code provides that any document containing obligations for employees or provisions whose knowledge is necessary to perform work has to be written in French. This provision defending the French language has set extensive legal precedents (see our dispatch No. 110787). Air France has borne the brunt of this provision when the Paris Court of Appeal ruled, on October 1, 2010, that it had to translate into French all technical documents aimed for its pilots, even those coming from Boeing, the American plane maker, about how to use its planes. The Court of Appeal judged that the airline couldn’t invoke the exception provided for in Article L.1321-6 of the Labor Code on documents coming from a foreign country because it edited these documents.
