As an editor and occasional translator myself, if I was translating something in English into Hebrew but didn't know the words, I would likely translate the ones I knew and leave the other spaces blank, perhaps indicating that there's a word missing. <BR/><BR/>I'd be interested in knowing what it says in Arabic, since the English--even with the missing words--doesn't translate the Hebrew. <BR/><BR/>My Talmudic training teaches me to ask: "Why does it say in Hebrew, 'Careful! Deep water next to the shore' and in English, seems to want to convey something like 'This is a no-bathing area'? Does this mean that Israelis need to be warned, but there's no telling them what to do, while Americans respect a sign's authority and don't need to know why the area is dangerous?"<BR/><BR/>Welcome to my brain.Esther Kustanowitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17598539253079410648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35250603.post-61219888078207011342008-05-03T22:06:00.000+03:002008-05-03T22:06:00.000+03:002008-05-03T22:06:00.000+03:00Thanks for the link.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, Zabaj.com has some good translation snafus (always wanted to use that word).Danny Brothershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03372641972664155753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35250603.post-67554793373854257802008-05-03T21:04:00.000+03:002008-05-03T21:04:00.000+03:002008-05-03T21:04:00.000+03:00Ummm, Beavis, that said "horrendous."
