Hi all,
My thanks to Linda and Judy for pointing out that an article about the "Your
mother" translation, sent to the Dutch Foreign Minister, also appears in
today's Jerusalem Post.

Here is just one example of text that has been translated through using an
Internet tool -
"Helloh bud, Enclosed five of the questions in honor of the foreign
minister: The mother your visit in Israel is a sleep to the favor or to the
bed your mind on the conflict are Israeli Palestinian, and on relational
Israel Holland," began the e-mail. It continued with five nearly
incomprehensible questions, and several other mentions of "mother."
Now, for all of you Bagrut markers (no cheating and looking at the Yediot
article first) - what do you think they were actually trying to say, and why
did it come out like this?
David
