There's been a question going on Facebook on the translation of the word "occupy" from Arabic to English.
If you run the translation " مصر تحتل أمريكا", you get the translation "Egypt occupies America"; which is linguistically correct. If you run the same sentence replacing "أمريكا" with "إسرائيل" the sentence is translated to "Egypt is Israel" in all different languages as well. This is a huge linguistic mistake. How can we change that? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
