Are there any other languages except Russian where the word “bat” is literally translated as “flying mouse”?

French is “bald mouse” 😂

In Lithuanian it’s “leather wing” 

¯_(ツ)_/¯

in Maltese it’s butterfly of the night 🦋🌙

in Catalan it’s “pitiful rat”

In Spanish “murciélago” from Latin, meaning “blind mouse”.

In Hungarian some Very uncommon synonyms for the actual word for bat are “leather mouse” and “winged mouse”.
