Translation blunder on dosa packet leaves netizen amused

New Delhi : A picture of a packet of dosa batter is attracting humorous reactions from the netizen, thanks to a translation blunder.

The picture recently surfaced online that mentioned "Idly/dosa batter" printed on it. The translation of English text has been printed in hindi right below it.

"Idly dosa ballebaaz," reads the Hindi translation of "Idly dosa batter" on the packet. "Ballebaaz" is the Hindi words for a batsman, which led many to conclude that someone had confused it with the similar-sounding word "batter".

Check out the viral picture:


Soon after the picture landed on social media platforms, people went into bursts and shared their reactions.

One Twitter user shared a photo of another English word that got lost in translation. "It's a mess, literally," wrote the Twitter user while sharing a photo of a sign where "mess" or canteen had been translated into the Hindi word for dirty.
