"I was finishing my work when he told me that."

Translation: Je finissais mon travail quand il m'a dit ça.

[claude295345]

" cela " is rejected when it is the correct translation. "ça" is a contraction of "cela".

[JorWat]

'cela' is still being rejected.

[AabLevellen]

I wonder about that too. Is it a misstake to report, or is it the only way it is said.

[johndelaroo]

Well I just reported it.

[Mija438073]

How about 'j'etais en train de finir mon travail'?

[jacob_garofalo]

Why not 'disait' here?

[Linda4406]

Same problem, "cela."

[Gordon964264]

cela still wrong. Il nous faut une explication

[UnaDonna213779]

WHAT IS WRONG WITH CELA?????

[A_Copeland]

What's wrong with "il me l'a dit"? How does that differ in sense from the translation here?
