I'm pleased to know that the French translation also makes no sense, assuming it's true

Supposedly Nicola Sturgeon is having trouble comprehending just exactly what "Stay Alert" actually means.
I find it impossible to believe that someone that worked alongside Alex Salmond for so long would not already have that concept firmly in place.

Stay Alert does NOT come from French. There's several French words that could be used:
Attentif - in English that's "attentive"
L'affut - On the lookout
Prudent - Prudent
Alerte - youthful energy
The phrase the French have chosen for the current state of CV-19 is:
"Sauvez des vies, restez prudents" - Save lives, remain prudent.
