Text Submitted by jeanmi	Source language: French Cap Malheureux est un village du district de RiviÃ¨re du Rempart, au nord de l'Ã®le Maurice. On y bÃ©nÃ©ficie d'une vue agrÃ©able sur le Coin de Mire, un Ã®lot Ã quelques kilomÃ¨tres au nord de l'Ã®le principale. Le lieu aurait Ã©tÃ© nommÃ© ainsi par les colons franÃ§ais suite Ã l'invasion des Anglais, qui dÃ©barquÃ¨rent Ã cet endroit pour s'emparer de l'Ã®le en 1810.
Remarks about the translation	britannique

Title	Cap Malheureux ...
Translation English Translated by lilian canale	Target language: English Cap Malheureux is a village in the district of RiviÃ¨re du Rempart, north of Mauritius. It enjoys a pleasant view of Coin de Mire, an island a few miles north of the main island. The place might have been named in this way by the French colonists after the invasion of the English, who disembarked there to take over the island in 1810.

	Francky5591 Number of messages: 12396	Hello Lilian! Just one detail, about use of the conditional in the original version : Using the conditional form ("le lieu aurait Ã©tÃ© nommÃ©" here rather than any other past tense, means there is no official origin to the name, "serait" here is willing to mean "supposedly was...". As you can see if you check the English version of the Wiki this story is not mentioned, although this is probably true, why would such an adjective ( "malheureux" )been used otherwise? This was just a remark about the tense used in the French version, not a suggestion of improvement.
