Apparently, when the Arabic word "داعش” (Daesh) was typed into Bing Translate, the words "Saudi Arabia” would appear as the English translation, according to Khaberni.
The so-called technical error caused an uproar in Saudi Arabia, where many Saudi social media users called for a boycott of Bing and Microsoft.
The Microsoft Corporation has formally issued an apology to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, calling the error "unintentional”.
