I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be translated in Japanese or some of the Asian languages, so we might want to make a policy of just leaving it untranslated.
Japanese and Asian language speakers, please correct me if necessary.
I can only speak for the Japanese language. When we do not have a suitable word in Japanese, we can do a phonetic translation. That is, to use Japanese characters that sound closest to the original English.
