Jerusalem? Never heard of it

Something always gets lost in translation, but usually not an entire city.

 

"Jerusalem. There is no such city!" the Jerusalem municipality said in the English-language version of a sightseeing brochure it had published originally in Hebrew.

 

The correct translation: "Jerusalem. There is no city like it!"

 

Carrying a photograph of the brochure, Israel's Maariv newspaper said Wednesday tens of thousands of flyers had been distributed before city hall realized its mistake.
