Wikipedia's Mistake
Wikipedia is the amazing online enclyclopedia containing arsenals of information to the public all over the world. They have information on important historical facts, dates, figures and everything else that one would want to know. I was extremely surprised to find out information on peruvian actor, Christian Meier.... it was pretty baffleling.Nonetheless, who ever translates for the site is completely wrong.
If one goes to the page, there are many language selections that one can choose from. Under the English option it states: The Free Enclycopedia
But under the Spanish option it states: La Enclicopedia Libre.
Libre - means FREEDOM in that context. La Enciclopedia GRATIS or GRATUITA would have been more appropriate. I would love to get a hold of their publisher and aware them of this mistake. Also aside from Spanish, other languages deriving from Latin like Italian, French or Portuguese carry the same mistake. If anyone knows how to contact them, please do so. It is just bad to see this coming from an enclycopedia.
