Can't translate a German sentence?!

I'm in the EBC Numbers commentary. Tried to run “Gott ist im Israel gegenwärtig im Heiligtum” (without the quotes) through the translator from German to English, and I got "Could not translate to target language". That's the second time that's happened. A bit off, no? German is hardly a little-known dialect or anything. Or is the Translate function not working properly?

Anyone?

By the way, on a side Curmudgeon note, does anyone else get as irritated, as I do, with people who think nothing of writing sentences (or entire paragraphs - that REALLY RANKLES!) in foreign languages without providing a translation,? Not that that is the case here, really, but still. Angry So thank you Logos, for incorporating this translation ability into our software. Big Smile

Happy Saturday all!

    Hi Carmen

    1. I get the same results as you on the translation thing.

    I'll just respond in agreement to the Curmudgeon comment. Tolstoy's War and Peace is about 2% French. I love (in a "I really hate it" sort of way) the social implications of forcing readers to feel out of place when they don't know all the languages. But there's this thing in academic writing. I think I'll randomly quote Edda in Icelandic someday (which I don't know, BTW) just to appear smart. :P

    Sorry to dovetail off your brief aside. Back to your regularly scheduled programming....

    Also, the grammar isn't right. Has to be "Gott ist in Israel gegenwärtig im Heiligtum". I don't have the resource, so I can't submit a typo. If someone else does it, maybe it gets fixed in ten years or so.

    This may not be a typo in the resource but rather an error in what the AI translation produces ?
