GOOGLE SUBCONSCIOUS: GOOGLE TRANSLATES ‘I LOVE ARMENIANS’ AS ‘I LOVE TURKEY’
National Turk
Feb 20 2012
A translative glitch in Google’s translation service wreaked havoc
among Armenian Internet users over the weekend, does Google have a
subconscious?
Boston / NationalTurk – Google’s online translation service
(translate.google.com) had been translating the sentence in Armenian
‘ ÔµÕ½ Õ½Õ”O~@Õ¸O~BÕ´ Õ¥Õ´ Õ°Õ¡ÕµÕ¥O~@Õ”Õ¶ ‘ (I love Armenians) to
‘I love Turkey.’ Google translated the Armenian sentence “I love
Armenians” (“ÔµÕ½ Õ½Õ”O~@Õ¸O~BÕ´ Õ¥Õ´ Õ°Õ¡ÕµÕ¥O~@Õ”Õ¶”) into “I love
Turkey” for unspecified reasons.
The prankish mistranslation which caused fury among Armenians was
unraveled by a Lebanese Armenian activist named Serouj Baghdassarian
only to verified by The Armenian Weekly later.
The funny translation glitch issue was resolved and corrected Feb. 19,
after an active online campaign launched by Armenian activists who
read this report and got as mad as a hornet .The cause of the Google
translation error was not mentioned in the report.
