An interesting aspect of translation occurs with the mini-series
_Deadwood_. This series has a lot of profanity - but it isn't the
profanity of the time. To give us the proper flavor of the time, they
"translated" it into current profanity.
Profanity is weird. French profanity is religious, American profanity
has to do with body functions. Vlad is living in a Dragarean society
and uses their religious oaths - but I wouldn't call it quite profanity
(and when he observed something that nobody else did - he incorporated
it in with his swearing).
