It's been a struggle for non-English speaking countries to properly translate the eloquent diction of President Donald Trump. Especially with his strong, stable grasp of the English language.

This week proved quite the challenge with Trump's reported comment Thursday about immigrants from "shithole countries" like Haiti, El Salvador, and those in Africa. The "vulgar language" tends to lose its meaning if directly translated, so foreign media reached for the right way to convey what the American president was really trying to say.

We used Google Translate for the many different takes on "shithole," along with a few translations from different publications.

Here's what we found:

Croatia

Vukojebina: Google translates it to "middle of nowhere," although a lot of dictionaries have a more graphic translation, as seen below.

Foreign outlets struggle to translate “shithole” for their readers. This Croatian paper used “vukojebina,” meaning “the place wolves like to fuck.” No joke. pic.twitter.com/d1xGReVELl — Andrew Kirell (@AndrewKirell) January 12, 2018

China

Lan guo: "Countries that suck," as Quartz explained.

Taiwan

Niao bu sheng dan de guo jia: "Countries where birds don't lay eggs," also from Quartz.

South Korea

Go-ji-so-gul: Quartz translates that to "beggars' haunts."

Japan

Benjo no yō ni kitanai kuni: "Countries dirty like toilets."

Ah, seems we already have a contender: 便所のように汚い国 (countries that are dirty like toilets) thx @stegersaurus @sharp_writing https://t.co/WY3LqImBwh — Spoon & Tamago (@Johnny_Strategy) January 12, 2018

Italy

Cesso di paesi: "Toilet countries," according to PRI.

El Salvador

Agujeros de mierda: "F**k holes."

Mexico

Países de mierda: "Countries of shit."

"Países de mierda", "pocilgas", "países mierderos", "países inmundos", "países de agujero de mierda"... Este es el debate en la redacción de EFE en Washington sobre cómo traducir la perla del día de Trump: "#shithole countries" pic.twitter.com/NXVg0kegNo — Alex Segura (@_alexsegura_) January 11, 2018

France

Pays de merde: "Shit countries."

Canada

Trous-a-rats: "Rat holes."

Haiti

Trou a merde: "Hole of shit."

Finland

Persläpimaat: "Asshole countries," according to The Washington Post.

Germany

Drecksloch: "Sinkhole."

Agree that Drecksloch isn't ideal. We used that a lot back when he called the White House a dump (simpler times!), but it doesn't work for countries imho. — Leonie Wagener (@l_wagener) January 12, 2018

Israel

M’churban: "Crappy or shitty."

Netherlands

Achterlijke landen: "Backwards," as PRI translates it.

Iran

Chaah-e mostarah: "Toilet hole countries," PRI says.

Other publications, like the Vatican newspaper, L‘Osservatore Romano, just avoided the curse word altogether — no translation needed.
