The translation has been done excellently; only with regard to the French "apprivoiser" I have still some doubts: compare
"On ne connaît que les choses que l’on apprivoise"
and
kaś cit tān eva viṣayān avagacchati yān sa prīṇayati.
("apprivoiser" is also difficult to translate into english etc.)
Best,
