encontradas por acaso / casualmente / acidentalmente
come upon: (1) To find someone or something accidentally or without looking. "Come upon" can also be used to convey this meaning. Please don't be upset, we didn't mean to exclude you! When Chad and I went out, we just came on the rest of the group, that's all! Were you snooping in my room? How else would you just come upon my love letter?
(2) To discover or encounter someone or something unexpectedly or by chance. We came upon a charming little restaurant as we cycled through the countryside. The two boys came upon a man claiming to have magical beans for sale.

Especially interesting: "A slightly incorrect translation can change the way one country views another; a single misrepresentation of a concept can have drastic effects on negotiations and heavily distort international perception."
