September 27th 2007 at 9:31 am in So I was trying out some API connection, for which I had set up an account on Blogger. Now, the profile over there is displayed in Dutch .. And it translates the sign ‘Cancer’ to the disease ‘cancer’ in Dutch:
The correct translation is of course, ‘Kreeft‘.
That’s the problem with homonyms, words written the same, but with different meanings. Kanker in Dutch, really, really only is a disease (or a district in India).
Amusing to some, offending to others…
I wonder how long this wrongly has been displayed — and how long before it’s noticed by someone that’d actually take the effort of sending them an email about it…
Today, november 25st, the bug is still there…
Heh, this weekend I wanted to show the bug to a friend of mine — and I noticed it has gone.
“Cancer” now correctly translates to “Kreeft” the constellation and not “Kanker” the decease…
