(135,425 posts)"These are personal insults that are rude but not vulgar."
Or
"This swear references sexual congress in an unsavory way!"
Or simply "These are naughty words and phrases."
Then add "I don't want to insult anyone with sensitive eyes, if you're beyond curious, PM me and I'll tell you!!"
OR, you could use that "Hidden" command that enables you to HIDE a word or phrase, and it will only be revealed if you highlight it...you can warn people to not highlight if they are easily offended, and inoculate your warning with JURY TAKE NOTE!!
I can't see hiding anyone's post--or even ALERTING on it-- for foreign language use--that's just silly. Heck, that sounds like an alert that needs to be alerted on, because that's someone who is just messin' wit' ya.
The other thing you could do is provide a link to a translating program on the net, if you have one that's any good. Some are definitely better than others, I've found! Usually, the ones with the languages that I suck at, or don't know at all, are the worst! The ones that can translate the languages I already know do a perfect job...EXCEPT for those one or two words that escape me! Isn't it always the way!!
