A translative glitch in Google’s translation service wreaked havoc among Armenian Internet users over the weekend, does Google have a subconscious?

Google’s online translation service (translate.google.com) had been translating the sentence in Armenian ‘ Ես սիրում եմ հայերին ‘ (I love Armenians) to ‘I love Turkey.’ Google translated the Armenian sentence “I love Armenians” (“Ես սիրում եմ հայերին”) into “I love Turkey” for unspecified reasons.

The prankish mistranslation which caused fury among Armenians was unraveled by a Lebanese Armenian activist named Serouj Baghdassarian only to verified by The Armenian Weekly later.
