An odd mishap was displayed on the U.S. television series "Episodes," starring Matt Leblanc, after the show's producers apparently used Google's erroneous translating service in the writing of a Hebrew caption appearing on one of the show's episodes.

In the third episode of the U.S.-British co-production's second season, one of the scenes takes place in a cemetery, where a headstone is visible and inscribed in both English and what appears to be an attempt at Hebrew, reading "Beloved husband and father, dearly missed."

However, the Hebrew text was both written in reverse and badly translated, as blogger Shahar Golan pointed out: "At first the Hebrew words did not make any sense, until I realized the letters were in reverse order: left to right, instead of right to left."

"Then I realized that even when read in the right direction, the words, while in Hebrew, sounded like a machine-translated version of English phrases; Someone might say ‘he will be dearly missed’ but its literal translation to Hebrew comes out as ‘he was pickled at great expense,‘" Golan wrote in his blog.

In an attempt to attempt to retrace the source of the producer's mistake, Golan inserted the English caption into Google translate, succeeding in coming up with the humorously distorted outcome.

"Yep! Someone at set design couldn’t find a Jew to save his life and decided to wing it. Which begs the question: Aren’t we running this joint?" Golan jokingly added.
