On Wednesday, Twitter user Harpreet shared a picture of a dosa batter packet which had its name translated in two regional languages besides English. The picture, which has gone viral now shows the translation of Idli and Dosa in Hindi correctly but its the translation of the word "batter" that made netizens laugh out loud!
It seems, instead of writing 'Ghol', the Hindi translation of the word batter is Ballebaj, which is the hindi word used for a bastman in the field of cricket. Suprised to see the Hindi translation, a Twitter user asked Harpreet to check the hindi word by using Google Translator.

Suprisingly, when one checks for the Hindi translation of batter on Google Translator, this is the response that you get. Netizens couldn't believe what they saw and took to the comments section of the post to share thier views on the blunder.
One user wrote, "If batter is ballebaaz - then battery should be artillery barrage no? What would barrage be? Legal drinking age?," while a second user commented, "It's a Mess, literally." A third user said, "what if I am a bowler? what do I eat then?"
Here's how netizens reacted to the translation error:
If batter is ballebaaz - then battery should be artillery barrage no?
