I can be persuaded to be interested in their women. Does that count?
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Foreign languages used in RP are "in character" and don't raise eyebrows but you shouldn't run a RP in a foreign language (NS is English-friendly). IMHO, a foreign language RP makes it difficult for people to weed out flames, troubling posts and so on; Moderators and Mentors might not be familiar enough with that language.
Foreign language pro tip: (edited post here)Cerillium wrote:(this goes to those trying to convey Asian languages as well):
Option 1: "σκατά!" It makes little sense and conveys nothing to someone who doesn't read Greek letters. Some Cyrillic/Greek letters or Asian characters appear as boxes depending upon what the person is using to access a site.
Option 2: "Skatá!" It makes more sense. The letters draw us in because they're familiar. It's using letters which we can pronounce in our heads as we read. Same word, common alphabet.
Option 3: "Shit!" Well, that makes sense but doesn't convey a sense of someone cursing in a foreign language.
We're writing to appeal to an English-speaking audience and to English-speaking players. So, "Ublyudok!", although we don't know it means "bastard", is "readable" to us. We can "hear" [a character] saying it.
" 分かりますか " can't register in anyone's heads...No one else has any idea what the consonants and vowels sound like. "wakarimasu ka" is something you can "hear" in your head when you read it. It still conveys a foreign language (Japanese) speaker.
