One of the most recent corporate mishaps I've learned of is Microsoft Nokia calling their phone "Lumia", when in Spain "lumi" or "lumia" is an informal word to mean "prostitute".
Your app doesn't reflect that. I was going to say that you need to source slang dictionaries, but this one is in the Diccionario de la Real Academia:
http://buscon.rae.es/drae/srv/search?val=lumia http://buscon.rae.es/drae/srv/search?val=lumia
And even in the first random online bilingual dictionary Google threw up:
http://diccionario.sensagent.com/lumi/es-en/ http://diccionario.sensagent.com/lumi/es-en/
So maybe do a bit of scraping/spidering of multilingual dictionaries, starting with your collected list of bad words?
- dbbolton 11y agoI think Wiktionary is a great and underutilized resource. Fairly good coverage, free, and easily amendable. There is in fact an entry for lumia: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lumia#Spanish https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lumia#Spanish It's actually the basis for a site called The Alternative Dictionaries which features "colorful extracts": http://www.alternative-dictionaries.net/ http://www.alternative-dictionaries.net/
