Kinda false friends, the Romanian ”crimă” is translated to English ”murder” only. The term ”infractiune” can be translated to a wide range of law terms, like offense, abuse (of the law), violation, breach, wrongdoing, incompetency, delinquency, trespass, malfeasance, malpractice, impertinence, misdemeanor, etc., beside of, of course, crime.

I also am wondering about this -- I wrote "This is an infraction?" and it didn't pass. I believe they can mean the same?

I totally agree - i'm English and without getting confirmation from the dictionary i know that the word infraction means a violation of any legal provision - i.e. a crime! The dictionary agrees.

"Infraction" is bolder in meaning than "crime." splittongue's comment suggests that ”infractiune” has a similar broad meaning.
