Jetstar's gone Latin!

[Mal]

Visiting Cheap flights - Jetstar Airways (or their .com website) comes up with the a splash page for me which offers the choice of either an "information" site or their "regular" site. The option for the "Information" site appears to be in Latin:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Sed quis sapien. Sed adipiscing diam quis pede. Nullam non sem quis orci consectetuer sodales. Sed semper gravida ipsum. Nam venenatis sollicitudin sem. Sed quis erat. Praesent sodales facilisis tellus. Phasellus imperdiet eros eget enim. Vestibulum tristique laoreet est. Vestibulum non velit et nibh volutpat feugiat. Proin ac augue. Nullam hendrerit urna ut felis. Duis tortor.

And when I visit the site:

Update this text to go on the home page of Information site.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Sed quis sapien. Sed adipiscing diam quis pede. Nullam non sem quis orci consectetuer sodales. Sed semper gravida ipsum.

This news headline will go on the home page of info site. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consec tetuer adipiscing elit. Proin dignissim suscipit dolor. Curabitur vehicula, mi at tristique dignissim, elit lacus rutrum ante, ut laoreet dolor mauris mi.

Anyone know Latin and can translate???

Hmm, looks like it's just placeholder text for the website (instead of "dummy text goes here. La la la. More random text" that some people use).

Good to see the web developers are on the ball today.

Ha ha. The good old Lorem Ipsum. In theory, it's from a speech by Cicero and means something along the lines of 'No one loves pain in itself, but sometimes pain may bring about pleasure.'

But yes, in practice, these days it's used as designers' placeholder text, and should always be searched for and deleted before something goes live / to print.

Lorem ipsum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks for that. Didn't see the wiki page in my travels trying to work out what it all meant.

Main page has been restored to it's former glory, although the 2nd page I mentioned above still exists.

Nothing wrong with Lorem Ipsum. I have often used it myself (Although I don't think it ever made its way onto a production site!)

As soon as I saw the first 3 words I knew what it was....... good that you now will be able to recognise what said phrase is in the future

It took you 3 words to work it out? :mrgreen:

Does caveat emptor make its way into the aforementioned speech?
