French term

faits gestuels (typo ?)

French to English Other Environment & Ecology Mali
This is in a text about environmental cleanup. It is a table so there is not much background to go on. This is the entry:

Nombre de localiltés assainies
Nombre de faits gestuels évacuées

Any suggestions, or have I missed something?

Number of efforts evacuated They might be trying to say that there were a certain numbers of attempts taken to do whatever (clean-up, etc), but somewhere along the lines, these undertakings were never completed (évacués ou abandonnés"?).

Should be something like "nombre de faits gestuels evacués" (masculine plural).

That's all that I can think of for the moment (can't post an official answer as I'm not a member).

- there is a grammatical mistake, you should say: "faits gestuels évacués"
BUT
- this sentence, in French is incorrect. You don't use those words together, maybe it's "effets personnels évacués" --> "personnal effects evacuated"

@liz Possibly for the same reason "nouns is" cropped up in your question?
liz askew Apr 3, 2013:
Why is "évacuées" in the feminine, when the nouns is "faits"?
