Close Enough! Bing Translates ’Daesh’ as ’Saudi Arabia’
Local Editor
The Microsoft Corporation Bing Translate dubbed Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the terrorist "ISIS" group] as Saudi Arabia.
Indeed, the translation was claimed by the corporation as an error after it has put itself in hot water with the Saudi kingdom.
Apparently, when the Arabic word "Daesh was typed into Bing Translate, the words "Saudi Arabia" would appear as the English translation, according to Khaberni.
The so-called "unintentional" technical error caused an uproar in Saudi Arabia, where many Saudi social media users called for boycotting Bing and Microsoft.
Although the company claimed the translation was written by mistake, the dubbing may ring true to many critics who have accused Saudi Arabia of funding Daesh, both directly and by taking limited action to prevent private donors from sending money to the Takfiri terrorist group.
Currently around 2,500 Saudi terrorists are estimated to be fighting with Daesh.
