What of the claim that Jewish scholars - before Jesus - took "alma" in Isaiah to mean virgin, not merely young woman

Who is making this claim?

I've read that the translators of the Hebrew Testament into Greek - which took place before Jesus -- translated the word as virgin. Do a google search, you'll see this widely asserted, I believe.
