'Putin is bad,Obama is good'

Moscow News - News - Google Lost in Translation

now we can blame it on the computer translator....
but i was intrigued by the article and 'googled'. typed in the words and they came out correct in the translation...
so was it the computer 'domovoi' or who is to blame. i am sure the google techies have worked it out by now....

google thinks it has been an internet attacks

So the latest news and explanantion of the said-above article (google tranlsation is used here):

Google accuses throughout Medvedev
Text: Tatiana Lobusova / Infox.ru

Internet
Inventor of the Internet does not believe in a quick lifting of Chinese censorship
China cloned Google
Kaspersky has Google for the virus
ICANN finally approved the domain. RF
The Google search engine to solve the problem, which related to the incorrect translation of phrases with reference to Russia and the United States. Thus, when translating phrases USA is to blame, Russia is to blame, in the window of an interpreter Google appeared "not to blame the U.S.", "Russia is to blame. The company about the error reported Internet users.
The Google search engine to solve the problem, which related to the incorrect translation of phrases with references to Russia and the United States, as well as leaders of two countries, RIA Novosti reported.

Thus, when translating phrases USA is to blame, Russia is to blame, Obama is to blame, Medvedev is to blame in the window of an interpreter Google appeared "not to blame the U.S.", "Russia is guilty," Obama not guilty, "Medvedev guilty.

"This is a small attack, so-called perevodobomby. We can not always catch them, well, that our users find them and report it ", - said director of public relations in Russia Google Alla Zabrovsky, adding that now the technical department solves the problem.

She also praised the internet users for error detection.

Earlier today, hundreds of internet users in their blogs posted messages along the following lines: "Translator Google, we come to it. Set the direction of translation from English to Russian and type: USA is to blame. Read, and then recruit: Russia is to blame.

LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky, commented on the situation: "indoctrinate people take monstrous proportions. It would seem - help in the translation, a useful service. Who uses it? Schoolchildren, students and pupils. So, please, Obama is not guilty, Medvedev is to blame, my fault, Russia is to blame! "

"I want to believe that this is not censorship on the orders of the CIA and not the initiative of Sergey Brin (the developer and co-founder of search engine Google. - Infox.ru), which, incidentally, comes from Russia, as a result of unfair work of the programmer. Such coincidences do not happen. Hopefully, the company's management will hold an internal review, and the misunderstanding will be removed ", - the leader of the Liberal Democrats, as quoted by the press office of the party.

Earlier, this failure arose when translating from Russian into Chinese name "Yanukovich", is replaced by "Viktor Yushchenko". Then press, Google explained that a technical error, not having any ideological motive.

Heard about this one. Seems like it was not done on purpose, although it's a very, VERY weird bug!
