Facebook blamed a technical glitch Saturday after the site mistranslated Burmese-to-English posts about Chinese President Xi Jinping during his visit to Myanmar. The errant translation came about because the system searched through terms beginning with “xi” and “shi,” AFP reported. The same error did not appear in Google’s translation of Suu Kyi’s page, according to the outlet. Reactions from Xi or the Chinese government to the Facebook error were not immediately known. Xi's visit was also intended to mark the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Myanmar.
