The word étranger …
The word étranger means both someone from another country and somebody strange. In spanish it is translated as “el extranjero” (the foreigner) which is always considered a mistake. Mistake probably due to the resemblance of the words étranger-extranjero. I have always thought (and still think) “El extraño” (the stranger) to be the correct title.
