The translation is off, "gewaltbereit" doesn't mean violent, but more something along the lines of "willing/ready to do violence"

[–] Havald@lemmy.world 33 points 6 months ago (2 children)

They translated it as "possibly violent" which fits.

[–] python@programming.dev 23 points 6 months ago

It still kinda implies that she has possibly already done violence, but the meaning is more about being capable of doing violence in the future

Fits not really. In Germany, such terms as "possibly" are not used. Their meaning is considered equal to "everything is possible, because nothing is known".
