Newly-elected Pope Francis (2nd L) appears on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica after being elected by the conclave of cardinals, at the Vatican this evening Viewers were taken aback as the BBC's on air translator struggled without luck to decipher the Pope's Speech last night and make it understandable to the audience.There was Furious Twitter reaction to the BBC's coverage of the Pope's election after translator stumbled over the  translation of the Hail Mary and Our Father into English.

One wrote: ‘BBC translator now in pits of despair and given up entirely.’ Another added: ‘Awkward moment when the BBC translator doesn't know the Hail Mary or Our Father!!’ One added: ‘Very loose translations of the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary from the BBC translator.’
Another said: ‘You’d think the BBC could have found a translator that knew the Lord’s prayer. Even I know it.’ One viewer said: ‘The BBC translator appears not to know that the Pope is saying the Lord's Prayer? Or perhaps isn't familiar with English version?’
 
The Lord's Prayer also known as the Our Father is one of the best loved and most spoken prayers on the planet.It's quite surprising to say the least.BBC why na?:-)
