English phrase
How do I translate the phrase "You can not judge a book by its cover?" I thought "Tu ne peux ps juger un livre par sa couverture", but I suppose this is too literal. Is there a better translation?
Thanks

Hi Katrien,
Yep, French has a similar idiom:
L'habit ne fait pas le moine
Another very similar one is:
Il ne faut pas se fier aux apparences
