Clal Center

(

• Back to T:TDYK

• ... that the architect of the Clal Center (pictured), the first upscale, indoor shopping mall in Jerusalem, candidly added the project to an Israeli exhibition titled "Bad Jobs"?

Created by Yoninah (talk). Self nominated at 23:05, 12 May 2014 (UTC).

• New article, appropriate size. Hook is correctly cited and accepted in good faith after using two different machine translators. It is a fun article to read, perhaps because all humans enjoy a good "disaster story." Nice work, Yoninah! Mvblair (talk) 22:58, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

• • Google translate can't find the 'bad jobs' part in the cited source. You may need a Hebrew speaker to check this DYK.--v/r - TP 23:22, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

• I can read Hebrew, which is how I used these Hebrew sources. In any language, Google Translate just does a word-by-word translation; it doesn't provide the context. The sentence in the Zondberg article reads:
• אחד מהם הוא בניין מרכז כלל ברחוב יפו, שאיתן היה אמיץ דיו להציג אותו בתערוכה "עבודות לא טובות" שאצרה האמנית ציונה שמשי ב-1992
• This translates as: "One of them is the Clal Center on Jaffa Road, which Eitan was brave enough to exhibit in the exhibition 'Bad Jobs', curated by artist Ziona Shimshi in 1992."
• If you wish, this could be translated literally as "Not Good Jobs", which is a euphemism for "Bad Jobs". Yoninah (talk) 07:46, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

• That's odd. I copied and pasted the article into Google Translate and it came up with "bad jobs" in the second paragraph under the heading "This is not a disclaimer" (זו לא הסרת אחריות). Mvblair (talk) 15:24, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

• Mvblair, if you think the other editor's comment was in error, you could reinstate the "OK" tick. Yoninah (talk) 18:25, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
