Hi,

> Tagalog - Lunas
> Spanish - Solusyon
> Mandarin - Jie Jue
> Russian - Pewehne
> Amharic - Mebtihea
> Romanian - Solutia
> Italian - La Solutione
> German - Die Unwort
> Punjabi - Hal

I guess something with the German translation
went wrong. The translation of "the solution"
is "die Lösung".
"Unwort" is a "taboo word" with a rather negative
connotation. In the last years some organisations
elected the "Unwort" of the year:
http://www.unwortdesjahres.org/unwort_g.html
http://www.tu-bs.de/institute/germanistik/unwo2000

Maybe that solution was mixed up with
"Endlösung" which means the "final solution",
extermination of all jews by the Nazis.

Cheers,

Winfried
