Sending a message with an emoticon representing a flag, and then using the WeChat's auto-translate feature from Chinese to English, yields English-language messages that at times appear to mock the country that the flag represents, though often has no discernible sense. Reuters could not confirm when the glitch first surfaced or its origin, though reports of it by users began circulating widely on Twitter on Tuesday. Chinese social media giant Tencent Holdings said on Tuesday that it will fix a "translation bug" on its chat app WeChat that sends out distinct non-sequiturs when country flags are inputted via text message.
