the complex eventually grew to include
avec le temps, le complexe s'est étendu pour finalement inclure...


Explanation:
un complexe de cette nature n'abrite rien (puisque c'est au grand air et que ce n'est pas une fortification)...

agree  Tony M: Ce n'est pas forcement 'finalement' non plus ! Je crois que 'abriter' peux marcher aussi, compte tenu du sens figuratif possible... // Evidemment, vous avez plus de contexte que nous autres...!
6 mins
  -> finalement= en fin de compte. On parle ici d'un complexe ancien (patrimoine), donc je crois qu'il y a effectivement lieu de dire "finalement". Quant à abriter, dans mon esprit ce mot porte l'idée de protection ou de refuge que l'anglais ne contient pas

disagree  Premium✍️: Ça sent trop le plagiat... Et n'a aucune créativité propre. :-) // Le disagree sur la base d'un seul petit mot est bien plus désagréable de même que les différentes attaques de votre "supporteur", maintenant invisibles.
9 mins
disagree  Marie-Andree Dionne: Erreur de sens, il me semble. "a finalement été agrandi" suppose un seul moment d'agrandissement tandis que l'anglais laisse entendre une continuité.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Since when in Kudoz a perfectly good response is getting so-called "peer disagrees" just for a word? Fair-play, indeed.

DUSTY, Please NO PERSONAL ATTACKS in KudoZ, even if you may get away with it.

Dusty, please stop bombarding me with multiple emails with multiple "peer agreement" changes...
Please, I am working on a translation and don't welcome this unwanted distraction.

C'est ça "calmer le jeu", anotem", traiter des pros de "moaners".

  -> but she copied textually my response. You think plagiarism is acceptable in KudoZ ? :) // Not a case of "great minds ", it's about COPYING an entire response but 1 word.. Nothing new here! :) C´mon, I know the "fair players". Just objectively look here!
