The Bar's translation field is a powerful thing, but it has its limits. A speaker being deliberately obtuse won't be translated, most of the time. Neither will a speaker using a word they consider to be a different language from the one in which they are mostly trying to make themselves understood. As for the stream of vituperative German dialect from the fellow coming through the front door... well, it's probably just best all around that it not be translated. Medic's had One Of Those Days, and is in search of a drink and a suitably disturbing medical journal to read.
