Facebook: sorry for translating the name of Chinese President Xi Jingping as “Mr. Shithole “

Facebook has apologized for translating the name of Chinese President Xi Jinping as "Mr. Shithole ”.

 

Η λάθος μετάφραση του ονόματος τους προέδρου της Κίνας κ. Xi Jingping έστρεψε την προσοχή όλου του κόσμου εχθές. Το συμβάν έγινε όταν η de-facto πολιτική ηγέτης της Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi, έγραψε ένα μήνυμα στην ιστοσελίδα της στο Facebook, στη βιρμανική , confirming the time of Mr. Xi's arrival in the country.

And Facebook took care to translate it for those who do not know Burmese fluently: "Mr. Shithole, President of China arrives at 4 p.m." !!!!

Facebook does not currently have a translation solution and therefore relies entirely on Google. It is quite interesting to note that, unlike Facebook, Google Translator correctly translated its article Aung San Suu Kyi on Facebook and that made people think it's Facebook's fault.

Google made no announcement about the translation malfunction and only Facebook issued an apology, which confirms that the error is Facebook's fault.

"We fixed a technical issue that caused incorrect translations from Burmese to English on Facebook," Stone said. "This should not have happened and we are taking steps to ensure that it does not happen again."

Facebook, along with other global social media platforms, is currently banned in China. The Chinese is responsible for controlling the content on the Internet. It can delete as well as ban , which is against the interest of the state.
