"Politiet vil gerne vide betydningen af symbolerne."

Translation: The police wants to know the meaning of the symbols.

[JamesTWils]

In US English, we usually use plural verbs with police, as if we were referring to individual police officers, i.e. "The police want to know...."

[komati]

Same in UK English, I think this is a mistake. Would only be singular if you specified 'The policeman/policewoman wants to know...'

[RuthHansen1]

Correct to : The police want to know
or: The police officer wants to know

Whoever wrote a lot of these sentences, has been watching too many Scandi Noir dramas

The zodiac ciphers? I don't blame them!

Reminds me of The bridge season 2

So mørkt the con of man...

[Dr.Nul]

This sounds too Swedish or English. In Danish you'd say: "Politiet vil gerne kende betydningen af symbolerne".

[Justhartwig]

Sounds like a very danish translation of the english, annoying that it is incorrect.

Reiterating another complaint. "The police" want, not wants

[leoburca]

The police is after you! :O
