enigma@zebedee is on a distinguished road
We have quite a few dutch players for some reason, and they do occasionally shout dutch out. We don't really see it as a problem though, in fact most regular players are now able to respond to 'Euj'. We also have a couple of dutch gods, so even the cheating aspect isn't a problem.

The swearing issue is a bit more tricky. For example someone recently created a character who's name basically translated as cold vagina - but much less politely.

In english the name looked totally innocent. In dutch it was anything but.

So, what should we do? Get rid of the character as we would the same name in english? But just about anything is going to be a swearword in some language somewhere!

It's an interesting problem...
