All in a Day's Work: Lost in Translation

So I am working on a project on employee benefits in a certain country....in South East Asia and I am trying to translate the content on one of the websites to understand the health cover offered by the Statutory benefits.

Now I come across the maternity benefits offered and the literal translation of one of the lines is labour action.....I stare at that for 5 minutes and then I realise its actually delivery!

Blame me if you can for laughing because ironically thats a better translation than the word deliver....yeah it can get pretty violent! :-)
