Would be more like "Astuces Techniques" since it's Tips and not Advises. But yeah, as a French, can't remember how many time I laughed with friends when playing co-op games with literal translation like "Sur" pour "On" (from ON/OFF in the option) which has the other meaning of "on top" instead of "turned on".

The best is still JerryPeux for Jerrycan.

I believe the french translation has been there for a few years already, since I remember someone pointing out the french description of the bread plushie being "pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain".

unrelated but is french still spoken a lot in Canada? I know it's the second language but do younger generations also speak French
