Facebook has blamed a"technical error" after it translated the name of China's President Xi Jinping as"Mr S***hole".
The error occurred during Mr Xi's state visit to Myanmar last week when Facebook users translated Burmese into English.Image:A spokesperson for Facebook said:"We fixed a technical issue that caused incorrect translations from Burmese to English on Facebook.Advertisement The error was apparently caused by Facebook's automated translation software, which guesses the correct word to translate when it does not recognise a foreign word.
The company explained that its translation software guesses words based on their syllables when it does not understand what the direct translation is.
