Jerusalem? Never heard of it
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Something always gets lost in translation, but usually not an entire city.“Jerusalem. There is no such city!” the Jerusalem municipality said in the English-language version of a sightseeing brochure it had published originally in Hebrew.
The correct translation: “Jerusalem. There is no city like it!”
Carrying a photograph of the brochure, Israel’s Maariv newspaper said Wednesday tens of thousands of flyers had been distributed before city hall realized its mistake.
Though common to have a mistake in translation. But to print thousands and not realize it until much later? That’s worthy of the __________ Chamber of Commerce. I bet thousands of people of a few neighboring countries where happy to read it.
