website in another language from your own that you will see

neat stuff. They do a reasonable translation job and you can
almost always understand the meaning, but no automatic translation
is perfect.

The
Alternative Dictionaries. This is a series of dictionaries
with slang expressions and "bad expressions and words" in a language with the English
definitions. We recommend that you never use "bad language"
especially when you are traveling and even more so when you are in
another country with a different culture and language. But, it
is helpful to know when someone is swearing at you or calling you
bad names to see how upset they are although you can usually tell
this by the facial expressions, body gestures and tone of vice,
except for certain waiters who may insult you in the kindest way.
