there are times when you get a translation in a book for random foreign words.
in a movie, it's similar.
there are movies that are mostly in English.
there is an occasional foreign word dropped in here and there.

    You can do it! Use Google translate.
    For example:
    Paris Match magazine-Available only in French
    But you do not know French!
    So: Google-Paris Match in English
    Then click on it.
    There you go it is right there.

Yes, it's nice that they have Google Translate today - really helpful in a pinch.

It's  sad how the media usually can't get other languages rigth sometimes
