Conversions seems freely interpreted. In Gujarati it's `હોવેરક્રાફ્ટ`, transliterates to `hovercraft`, no meaning. In Malayalam `പറക്കും-പേടകം` translates to `Flying-vehicle`. In Hindi `ṃḍarāne vālī nāv` translates to `Floating boat`. In Marathi `माझी होडी मासळयांनी भरली आहे` it just says, `My boat is full of fish`.

In Venetian they translated it as "My boat is full of eels". We don't have a word for hovercraft. "Barchin" is actually a small personal boat. Also, happy to see they have a Venetian version :)

    I suspect hovercraft are too noisy for Venice. There isn’t much to muffle the noise, either.

      They also spray a lot.

In Kannada, they translated hovercraft to ಯಾಂತ್ರಿಕದೋಣಿ - mechanical boat, and eel to ಹಾವುಮೀನು - snake fish.

  A better word probably is haarudoni
