1) The title does not reflect the text.

2) A spy? She sounds like a burglar to me.

Can you fix it please?

But the original text indicates it's an "espionne", not a "cambrioleur"...

Can that have the meaning of burglar?

Well, the French text says 'espionne' so the translation should be 'spy'. Now it depends on why she's searching for diamonds... If she just wants to steal them then she's a burglar, but if there is another context she might be just a spy.
Anyway, I never encountered the word 'spy' with the meaning of 'burglar'.

The problem is that the French text says "espionne" (spy) first and then says "cambriolage" (burglary). Or the work of a spy is not to burgle! It's just a question of interpretation...

As for the title, there was none. I prefered not to make one up.

The title is fine now - it just said "translation" before.

Let's wait and see what Francky says about that spy.

Hi, I'm back. I forgot to direct Francky here, so he sent the answer to my inbox.

My question was: Is it possible for "espionne" to mean burglar?

Here's what Francky said:

...about the spy and the burglar, it is different, let's say that the spy has sometimes to be a burglar, because he or she has to steal informations; so the spy's job can sometimes be a burglar's job, but it is the only relationship I can make between these two words, I guess you may have thought the same about this topic...
