Google translated Russia to 'Mordor' in 'automated' error - BBC News: "Google has fixed a bug in an online tool after it began translating "Russian Federation" to "Mordor".
Mordor is the name of a fictional region nicknamed "Land of Shadow" in JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books.
In addition, "Russians" was translated to "occupiers" and the surname of Sergey Lavrov, the country's Foreign Minister, to "sad little horse".
The errors had been introduced to Google Translate's Ukrainian to Russian service automatically, Google said.
The terms mirror language used by some Ukrainians following Moscow's annexation of Crimea in 2014."
