Depending on typeface, your eye's performance and distance a 5 could be mistaken for a 9 easily.

- eptcyka 5y agoOh sure, but if you're looking at this text, you're also reading it. If you're a person, it's reasonable to assume reading comprehension (as opposed to an AI), and the sentence should just not parse. So I can only assume this is a typo and not a mistranslation. Unless they're using machine translation and OCR.
- numlock86 5y ago> [...] it's reasonable to assume reading comprehension [...] I think you overestimate the service and work provided by individuals "translating" and copying/posting these articles. Especially cross-copied news articles require high volume output in a short amount of time to be economical. That's why you have so many nonsensical errors in translated articles, especially the ones aimed at click-baiting you. Like putting the name of some random porn provider next to a phrase without providing any meaningful conclusion for example ... oh wait.
- eptcyka 5y agoAt that point, is it a translation error or is it just a typo? I just struggle to come up with a situation where one would translate numerical values into different values when translating from german to english.
