Explanation:
Tweedledee and Tweedledum : Any two people who are hard to tell apart
You can translate an idiom by its meaning or you can search for an equivalent in Arabic ( such as : فولة و انقسمت نصفين , yet this equivalent is more suitable to describe the physical appearance ) .. I will try to find you another equivalent , until then you can translate it using the meaning ..
