For the benefit of those who do not read Chinese, a controversy erupted in Singapore's Chinese-language media recently. The issue: shoddy translations after the National Heritage Board linked its English website content to Google Translate.
The episode was an embarrassing one for the custodian of the country's museums.

Screen shots of the translations were circulated among the Chinese-speaking community, here and in the region.
