Lost in translation
-
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.
