Incredible Lebanon Google Catch!
October 15, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui
Apparently, even Google is now taking part of the Syrian conspiracy against Lebanon :)
I came upon the most amazing of discoveries today.
Did you know that Google’s German-to-English online translator translates the word “Libanesischer” into “Lebanese”, but translates the sentence “Libanesischer Präsident” into “Syrian President”? Try it yourself.
Since I’m no German expert, I tried translating “Libanesischer Präsident” in other translators but I got a normal “Lebanese President” answer. So the problem is only in Google.
If you must know how I discovered this, I was browsing an article in German about Lebanon which has a link to my blog. So I translated the article into English (click on “read more”) using Google, and I found a link for “Syrian President” right above mine (find the links at the end of the story). I thought “how could this be?” something must be wrong, and the rest is history..
