The french translation is wrong, it can mean, based on context either: "I just gave up" or "I just dropped it".
The real translation should be something like:
"Je lui ai (juste) rendu visite" or "Je suis (juste) passé ("le voir" or "chez lui")"

Thanks for notifying. I still haven't implemented the possibility to "detach" a translation from a sentence. But in the meantime, when you see a wrong translation, in addition to posting a comment about it, feel free to add a new translation that you feel is more correct. It is not a problem if there are two French translations (or more) for the same sentence.
