Hi there, I am Yeni, Bataks Tribe from Indonesia, a country in Southeast 
Asia. Yesterday I found out that there was a mistake in translating the word 
"Batak" from Indonesian language to English language. As I tried to 
translate the word OPERA BATAK from Indonesian Language to English language, 
the translation is : OPERA HOBO. I dont know the word "hobo" means. Cause 
Batak is a tribe in Indonesia. (In English language Batak should mean Bataks 
or Batak Tribe.) 

Then I translate the english word "hobo" to Indonesian language. Then I 
found out the word hobo means : batak, gelandangan, petualang, orang miskin 
yg berkelana, orang jembel. Or in other words, the meaning of hobo are :batak 
:
                                               gelandangan : bum, tramp, 
vagrant, vagabond, hobo, bummer, loiterer, nomad, homeless drifter, tourist
                                               petualang : adventurer, 
wanderer, tramp, hobo, gadder, gadabout
                                               orang miskin yg berkelana : 
*poor 
people who **wander*
                                               orang jembel : mendicant, 
beggar, drifter, poor, hobo

Btw Indonesia has so many  tribes such as batak, jawa, sunda, padang etc. 
And it's so rude to translate the word "batak" to the word "hobo". Coz, here 
in Indonesia, if you say the word "Batak", 
it means the Batak Tribe or Bataks. We never use the word "Batak" to 
indicate the hobo thing. 

So Batak doesnt mean :* g*elandangan, petualang, orang miskin yg berkelana 
or orang jembel aka hobo. Batak means Bataks or the Bataks tribe. 

Well we, the Batak Tribe from Indonesia hope your team can fix it asap, 
cause it's really humiliating and harassing the Batak tribe around the 
planet.  

Thankyou very much for your kind attention and cooperation.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
