"I want to let him this hard work." Is just not a valid english sentence.

Did you report it?

[blorbloz]

Yes. Although there wasn't an option for wrong/unnatural english translations.

[Sitesurf]

If it ever happens that you don't find a matching tick-box on the drop-down menu, just explain what your problem is in the last box that is open to spontaneous comments.

i typed "i want to leave him this had work" and it was accepted.

[Eschenstrasse]

Maybe the system recognizes a Boston accent?

[Sitesurf]

that's right, because indirect object pronoun "lui" stands for "à+il" or "à+elle"

[deldar182]

How would you say "I want him to leave this hard work"

[Sitesurf]

Je veux qu'il laisse ce travail difficile.

[ianrobertshaw61]

Useful i got this 180' wrong

[cassiolalola]

"I want to leave him this hard work" should be correct.

[lisagae]

Same as above. Not correct English.

[alexandra.968]

I agree, this is clearly incorrect English

[joemcelrath]

Since lui is an indirect pronoun, I do not understand why "leave to him" or "leave to her" is not correct.

[Sitesurf]

Both him and her are accepted across all variants.

We could even have added "it".
