Main comment: this a hoax of very bad taste, no translation there.

Message shown:
        "DEATH TO ALL JUICE"
Comment in a balloon, added to the photograph of demonstrators:
        "Of course it's correct. I translated it online."

        Comments (rather obvious):
1) that e-mail was from Ferenc Kovacs was of extremely bad taste, or worse, and should probably have been moderated by the list manager (if there is one).
2) "juice" and "jews" (with the usual meanings) are homophones only in English.
3) no language seems to have one single word which is ambiguous with these 2 meanings.

        Conclusion:
1) This is a hoax. Translation (HT, MT) cannot be involved.
2) The only way to produce that kind of output using MT would be to speak it IN ENGLISH, use an ASR, not correct the output, translate it in another language L, and back to English. That evidently does not correspond to any translational situation.

Further comments on the source of that hoax:

The picture seems to come from http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/32311_Death_to_All_Juice
There is no balloon on that picture.

It seems some "MT hater" has added the balloon later...


Best, Xan

PS References to this picture and example of rough MT and its post-edition.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A lot of discussion can be found on the web on that expression.

Some sites ask internauts to signal such unacceptable pseudo-jokes.
We should help them.

Concerning that picture, I could not find an occurrence with the "MT hater" balloon.

Death to All Juice

Posted on February 8, 2009, 4:38 PM, by Sohaib Athar, under Life.

When I posted this picture of a supposedly Muslim guy in New York holding a sign saying "Death to all Juice", I did not know that the image was not a solo incident, but part of a series - the almost-meme even had a tshirt dedicated to it!

Last month, a researcher friend from MIT forwarded me a very similar picture of the same placard but with a different protester, more muslim looking this time, and told me that the images were being passed around in MIT and Stanford over email, eliciting the usual muslim hate comments that we are all so used to.

A google search told me that most of the people were ridiculing the illiterate 'moon-bat mozzies' in the picture for not being able to spell (here, here and here), while a Jihad Watch commenter attributed it to be the work of a certain 'Jouseff Al-Khattab, with some clever use of language 'calling for genocide without getting busted for hate speech'. A certain commenter from http://vigilantsquirrelbrigade.blogspot.com/ claimed to have taken the 'hilarious pic of illiterate NY moonbat' and claimed to have witnessed the guy getting arrested - according to the squirrel, the incident occurred in December.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just to show the result of a free "MT web server" producing an instant "translation" -- in this case a French translation by Google Translate.

Of course it is not a good translation, but if I use it as "pretranslation", I get a good one in 7 minutes. Note abreviations ("pic" for "picture") and familiar words (mozzies, lune-bat).

A human translator using no help and translating rapidly could probably spend 15-20 minutes on that task (normal, slow rate would be 4/5*60=48 minutes). Translation memories would probably not help much. In this case, MT used for post-edition reduced the human time by a factor of about 2 to 3.

Lorsque j'ai posté cette image d'un homme prétendument musulmans à New York la tenue d'une pancarte «Mort à tous les jus», je ne savais pas que l'image n'est pas un incident en solo, mais une partie d'une série - le quasi-meme a même eu un consacré à ce tshirt!

Le mois dernier, un chercheur du MIT ami m'a transmis un tableau similaire de la même affiche, mais avec un autre manifestant, plus musulmane cherche ce temps, et m'a dit que les images ont été transmises dans le MIT et Stanford en plus de courriels, de susciter l'habitude muslim commentaires haineux que nous sommes tous tellement habitués.

Une recherche google m'a dit que la plupart des gens étaient illettrés ridiculiser "lune-bat mozzies' dans l'image pour ne pas être en mesure de préciser (ici, ici et ici), tandis que le Jihad Watch commenter attribuée à des travaux d'un certains «Jouseff Al-Khattab, avec une certaine utilisation intelligente de la langue» appelant à un génocide sans avoir busted pour les discours de haine ». Un commentateur de http://vigilantsquirrelbrigade.blogspot.com/ ont affirmé avoir pris le «hilarious pic d'analphabètes NY moonbat et ont affirmé avoir vu le gars se arrêtés - en fonction de l'écureuil, l'incident a eu lieu en Décembre.

Le mois dernier, un ami chercheur du MIT m'a transmis une photo similaire de la même affiche, mais avec un autre manifestant, paraissant plus musulman cette fois-ci, et m'a dit que les images étaient transmises au MIT et à Stanford par des courriels, suscitant les commentaires haineux musulmans habituels auxquels nous sommes tous tellement habitués.

Un commentateur de http://vigilantsquirrelbrigade.blogspot.com/ a affirmé avoir pris la photo de ces « désopilants lunatiques analphabètes de NY » et ont affirmé avoir vu le gars se faire arrêter - d'après l'écureuil (?), l'incident a eu lieu en décembre.
