The translation you quoted is incorrect and inconsistent with the translation of identical English sentences with different numbers of crimes.
The English I used was "arrested and charged with . . ." This phrase commonly appears in news stories in English. For numbers I tried other than three, Google came up with "arrêté et inculpé pour . . . " That's a good, literal translation. For three crimes, however, Google's French version, which you quote in your post, is gramatically incorrect. I would translate it back literally as "arrested and three counts of crime." Google has dropped the word "charged" and added the idea of "counts of crime" to replace the simple word "crimes". What is strange, as I noted, is that Google only does this with exactly three crimes, not more or fewer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group.
