In order to create a "real" Hungarian phrase book in the style of Monty Python, we need a collection of phrases a foreign traveler might want to speak, a collection of inappropriate phrases, and translations of both. These could be crowdsourced. IPA pronunciations would be nice.
Easy would be simply to match up random phrases with random translations. Harder would be to give a translation especially inappropriate for the phrase being translated. Another difficulty is that inappropriateness must be targeted at the taboos of target culture, which may be different.
