He won't be happy about that.. Russian minister is called 'So GAY LOVER of' by C4 subtitles: http://t.co/zqMspQpqd1 pic.twitter.com/TpNjtFCUXb — The Sun (@TheSunNewspaper) March 6, 2014

Russia’s foreign minister has been branded a “gay lover” by Channel 4 News after its automated subtitling system mistranslated his name. The Sun reports that Matt Frei was reporting live from Kiev on the meeting between Sergey Lavrov and US secretary of state John Kerry when the subtitles reported that the latter was “talking directly to his Russian counterpart, so gay lover of”. Vladimir Putin and his colleagues are likely to be less than delighted – does the name fall under Russia’s controversial law banning “promotion of non-traditional relationships”?
