Short Story

 

I keep telling people that they have to be careful with translations.  Some folks are still thinking that any bilingual person can be a translator or interpreter.  Some are trusting web based translators, which produce mechanical translations. 

Anyway, this is a true story:

I just went to the website of a Theological Institution that advertises Theology courses in English and Spanish, among which there is one entitled: Institute in Taking Sin Seriously.  The title of the course is translated as: Instituto en pecar en serio, which means: Institute of Sinning Seriously (or teachings in serious sin).
