I see, I guess that reads a little more like a suggestion/hint (which
it is) than a direct order, a distinction we don't exactly have in
English.  (There seem to be other examples of imperatives, which is
probably why I suggested that, but also some infinitives.  *Shrug*)

Aha, another spelling that changed.  (I will refrain from complaining
about inconsistency in adoption of French:1990!)

Oh, wait a minute, besides the typo, isn't it really something like
"... requiert que l'op=C3=A9rateur =3D retourne une valeur de type bool=C3=
=A9en"?

I think this other similar makes the same mistake:

msgid "IS DISTINCT FROM requires =3D operator to yield boolean"
msgstr "IS DISTINCT FROM requiert l'op=C3=A9rateur =3D pour comparer des bo=
ol=C3=A9ens"

Thanks Vik.
