Consider the following from the Irish Constitution:
> 12.4.1° Gach saoránach ag a bhfuil cúig bliana tríochad slán, is intofa chun oifig an Uachtaráin é.
and the official translation to English:
> 12.4.1° Every citizen who has reached his thirty-fifth year of age is eligible for election to the office of President.
For those unfortunate few who do not understand Irish, that version says "Every citizen who is at least thirty-five years old", whereas the translation should in principle (arguably) allow a thirty-four-year-old.
Luckily the Irish version takes precedence legally. A constitutional amendment which would have lowered the minimum age to 21 and resolved the discrepancy was inexplicably rejected by the electorate in 2015.
