uhm, they are not exactly the same thing, French and English...

The meaning is the same I believe. Added another translation.

I don't see the advantage to have two very similar sentences, when also here one is not the accurate translation of the other.

Both sentences have the same meaning. They're just worded slightly differently. We're not supposed to be constrained to making word for word translations.
