Go to Google Translate and Type 'India is my Country' and translate to Urdu. It translates it as 'Pakistan is my country'. For those of you who cannot decipher Urdu, can translate the sentence in Urdu to English and check the blunder by Google. However if you translate 'Pakistan is my country', it gives the correct translation. So do you think that this is just a technical glitch from Google or an intentional error?
Haha, that's so funny. I can read the Arabic script so I can see the word "Pakistan" there.
I tried a few other sentences with India in them and they all seem to translate fine ("Bharat" being the native term for India, I assume it's the same in Urdu)
Very interesting.
Actually, when you click on the word for Pakistan, it gives "alternate translations" and one of them is Bharat (India), lol!
Right above it indicates this is the early stage of development for this particular language, so yeah probably unintentional.
Still, pretty funny.
Yeah this is a big time blunder by Google Translate. It was unexpected from them though.
Which does prove that Goggle translate is not as accurate as some people might think it is.
Yeah there are quite a few bloopers like this....Cant depend on Translate completely
It might be an error we need to correct by sending mails to them
Yeah hope that Google will correct this asap
Yes Mellyunplugged... Google shows some special affiliation with Pakistan. It was noticed that there was an honorable logo for Pakistan's Independence day on 14 August was published at the site as it do for many important events of history. But amazing thing is that the next day on 15 August, India got independence and that was not shown! We can say that is co-incidence, but as you mentioned, that is quite exciting
In 2011, as you said, Google displayed a doodle on the eve of Pakistan's Independence day. However, in 2012 they made sure that they had a doodle on both Pakistans Independence day and Indian Independence day. Anyways, the translator error is unbelievable and unexpected from Google considering the political importance of this.
I think they have corrected that problem. I checked now, well it is very interesting though they corrected now
Oh yes bro...The problem seems to be corrected now. And the most interesting part is an Indian and a Pakistani discussing about this in a forum like this
Its about respect of rational nationality which we believe and after all blood is red indeed
Yes!! After all everyone is human and as you said blood is red
Happy that you took part in this discussion. Thanks Junaid
Hi, congratulations to both of you, this is an interesting conversation! Greetings from Chile. Have a good day! (For Melly and for Junaid)
Thanks a lot Joan Veronica Yeah this is really interesting to meet people from different Nations and culture here. You too have a great day !
