Yeah, might be a cultural thing to some degree ๐
I believe in the US movie rating for example is much harsher compared to the German rating (FSK) when it comes to language and nudity but way more relaxed in regards to firearms or weapons in general. So yeah, cultural differences definitely play into account here! Making something that works globally is hard to impossible, I guess โฆ ๐
And itโs of course completely legitimate and even a good decision to decide not to include swear words!
Ah I see! Yes, itโs probably just a list with words that only are related to love an romance. But I see you were already quite exposed to my language ๐
I donโt know if you know that, but there is something called โthe dictionary of obscure sorrowsโ, where someone creates new words for complex feelings that can not be explained as easily (the book version has a really beautiful cover. I had to buy it! ๐ฑ๐). Your idea of a multi-lingual novel reminded me of that since the author creates new words from words of different languages. Really cool read!
But I donโt know if suddenly using foreign words in a text would only verschlimbesser (๐) the reading experience. But in general a really interesting thought (youโd probably need a big, big glossary ๐).
And I havenโt been too good in other foreign languages as well โฆ only with English, since I actually used it in programming and for watching international videos, websites and so on. So itโs probably more about if you actually need and want to learn a language โฆ or if it is just another checkbox on a long list ๐
