Lankadeepa 'Puts Foot In Mouth'

November 12, 2015

Lankadeepa website made a serious mistake yesterday when it translated a statement by Republican Presidential hopeful Jeb Bush literally.

The headline of the story said “Bush kakula kate damaagani” which is a translation of a headline in English “Bush puts his foot in his mouth”.

The headline should have been translated to give the meaning of the idiom. However, literal translation of the headline has ruined the article.
