Thank you. The perils of domain names in a multi-lingual world.


Yes! It makes me wonder if all those good ideas I had for domain names are cuss words in other languages.

Is there a site that will check this kind of thing? And give examples of idiomatic usage?


Reminds me of this app called Rego that became famous in Brazil because 'rego' means 'butt-crack' in portuguese (at least in brazilian portuguese), and the site had lines like this: "Your Rego is private. Nobody can see what you put in your Rego. But we know that sometimes you wanna share your Rego with a friend, and we make that easy!"

It was on HN a while ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5427798
