It would have to be a typo for 「もたらす」, which means "to bring", "to cause", "to produce", etc.

I would have thought so, but it's too widespread for that, appearing even in official sites and proofread contexts. Also, some of the axamples of usage that I've come accross with make no sense with that meaning.– KemmCommented Apr 3, 2015 at 15:26

1@Kemm もたらす makes perfect sense in the three examples you linked. Can you edit your question to add some examples of "もらたらす" where replacing it with もたらす wouldn't make sense?– senshinCommented Apr 3, 2015 at 15:34

After searching a bit more, it may be, though maybe a variant instead of a typo (or so I am made to believe seeing that [sgec-eco.org/aboutsgec/junkan.html this page] has もらたらす at the title but もたらす at the main body). If so, then [kakehashi.or.jp/?p=4906 this article's title] would read as "The exclusion zone of 80km around Fukushima causes death"? Because it's sentences like that what make me doubt...– KemmCommented Apr 3, 2015 at 15:55

2@Kemm It's not really widespread. Google Japanese web n-gram counts: もたらす 2554308 versus もらたらす 243.– user1478Commented Apr 3, 2015 at 16:48

@Kemm That Fukushima website in general has some strange Japanese. I don't think Japanese is his/her first language. At any rate, that website is not one I would use to study Japanese; I'd stick with major news websites.– JimmyCommented Apr 6, 2015 at 22:19
