No, this is mere incompetence/computer failure. The malfeasance involved in various liturgical “translations” from Latin to English in the time span from the late 60’s through the mid-80’s would top this.

“...and is transmitted by a punch of womanlike silt fly that punch putrescent rodents called stone hyraxes.”

Perhaps the translation is poor, but it makes it sound REALLY bad for ISIS. Which is good!

Heck of a translation.
Good news is that the summer bug season has not yet begun.

but it helps to feel less guilty of not being able to feel one iota of sympathy as you read it - snicker

“that is quite possibly the worst translation of all time”

So true. It reminds me of the ragged translation material you’d see on www.engrish.com.

“woman-like silt fly”?

He probably means worm-like.

It’s probably a machine translation. My favorite phrase was this: “... is transmitted by a punch of womanlike silt fly that punch putrescent rodents called stone hyraxes.”

Extremely bad translation. In fact, it barely made sense. But the article did arouse my curiosity, so I’m going to visit Google and find out more about this disease from somebody who actually knows how to write in English. Sounds like Divine Retribution to me.

Probably Google built in translation.
