Lost in translation - the FB bot and the Dhow Festival

 I visited  the   fb page  of  Katara several times this  week . The  original  Arabic posts  are translated  the wrong way .Look at this :

The misunderstanding likely stems from the word "المحامل" (mahâmil), which refers to "dhows" (traditional boats) in this context. However, the word "محامل" could also be interpreted as "pregnancies" or "things carried" in some contexts. The Facebook translation algorithm might have confused it with the term for "pregnancy" because it lacks cultural context and nuances specific to the Dhow Festival.

It was   funny   !
