English term or phrase: use as trues
any person who uses a falsified certificate as true
Philippe et Joelle LECLERC
French translation:no title
Explanation:
I would get rid of as true and just say "qui se sert d'un certificat falsifié". I don't think it adds anything to the translation or even in the source tbh.

Hope it helps :)

agree  Tony M: It is expressed differently in FR, this amounts to "utilisation de faux".

agree  B D Finch: Note that the "s" should be removed from "trues" for the KOG entry, as "true" doesn't take a plural form.

agree  Laplage: The context is a copy of a birth certificate. That translation is OK for me, but the text I proposed was "useS as true", but not "use as trueS". Thanks.
