Facebook Apologizes For Screwing Up Translation Of Xi Jinping’s Name by soliuwap(m): 9:09am On Jan 19, 2020
facebook has said a “technical issue” caused Chinese President Xi Jinping’s name to appear as “Mr Sh**thole” when translated from Burmese to English amid his visit to Myanmar.

The embarrassing mistake surfaced when Xi arrived for his two-day trip to Myanmar on Friday, where he met with State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi.

A statement about the visit, published on Suu Kyi’s Facebook page, referred to the Chinese leader as “Mr S**thole” when translated from Burmese to English. Similarly, a headline on local news website, the Irrawaddy, appeared as “Dinner honors President S**thole.”
