Errors[]
- Season 2
- In "Band Geeks",
- When Patrick raises his hand and asks, "Is mayonnaise an instrument?", it was translated as "Apa ranjau termasuk instrumen?", which actually means "Is landmine an instrument?". Squidward then responds with "No, Patrick. Mayonnaise is not an instrument", which was translated as "Bukan, Patrick. Ranjau bukan instrumen", meaning "No, Patrick. Landmine is not an instrument".
- When Patrick raises his hand again, Squidward says, "Horseradish is not an instrument either", which was translated as "Balap kuda juga bukan instrumen", meaning "Horse racing is not an instrument either".
- Other
- In some episodes, Gary's meows are muted.
Inconsistencies[]
- In some episodes, certain characters may be translated differently.
- The Flying Dutchman is sometimes translated as "Belanda Terbang". One example of this character translation can be found in the episode "SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One".
- Mrs. Puff can be translated as "Nyonya Puff" or "Ibu Puff", but the correct translation is "Nyonya Puff". Almost all episodes tend to use the name "Nyonya Puff" for this character. Meanwhile, "Ibu Puff" can be found in the episode "Nautical Novice".
