Facebook says technical error caused vulgar translation of Chinese leader's name
15 Sept 13:07Key points summarised by AI
Facebook apologized for a technical error that translated Chinese leader Xi Jinping's name as "Mr Shithole" from Burmese to English.
The offensive translation appeared on official Facebook pages and local news during Xi's high-profile visit to Myanmar.
Facebook attributed the error to Xi's name missing from its Burmese database, causing the system to generate an inappropriate translation, and has since fixed the issue.
