help with translation
    #6249263 -

Hi, I'm currently subtitling a film to French (my mother tongue), and there's one saying I have trouble translating (it's not in my dictionary). What does it mean when someone says: "the fix is in"? If you know the French equivalent, all the better of course!

Thanks guys 'n gals!

"the case or other matter has already been dishonestly decided, eg by the use of bribes"

Such as in gambling or betting, or perhaps other things.

I guess you took the French phrase and ran it through the translator. Those bots, unfortunately, tend to be a tad literal. I tried it the other way as well (En -> Fr), but the problem was the same.

Can someone just explain to me in words what it means when someone says "the fix is in"?
