  Its a pun that doesn’t translate well

  Zu warm = too warm Zuwarmi sounds like tsunami in German

  => This isn’t a heat wave its a heat tsunami

  Your app translates “zuwarmi” as “sweltering heat wave”?

  Its a pun on tsunami, and not a real word

    I guess the app did pretty well given the fake word.

      Whats weird is that it neither tried to do a literal translation nor to preserve the pun, when “too-warm-i”, the literal translation, still is at least pun-adjecant
