removed from its translation service a phrase Muslim advocates said reinforced stereotypes after being contacted Wednesday by Newsweek. The phrase appeared on Google Translate when users attempted to decipher an Arabic word for the verb"plan."
"This is a trusted source of information casually reinforcing stereotypes and in this case it's the particular stereotype that Arabs and Muslims are somehow more inclined toward violence than other communities, which is patently false," CAIR research and advocacy director Corey Saylor told Newsweek in an interview.
The phrase appeared when users set Google Translate to convert Arabic to English and enter the word تخطط, a verb indicating that someone or some group plans to do something.
Sounds about right.
