Just to throw in my two cents here. I'd say that you should avoid whole sentences in another language, unless they're recognizable greetings of some sort. Like: "Guten Tag" for Rheinland or "Kunichiwa" for Kusari. Apart from that, just random iconic terms and expressions here and there. I'd say putting in whole sentences is pushing and will end up confusing people.

To avoid it, I'd say that if you really are about using whole sentences in another language, you should be sensible enough to provide an instant translation for it.

Example:
KNF Pilot: Towakemono! ((Fool!))
(Specially when you're about insulting someone)

All in all, I think it adds a nice flavor to role playing, but it should be used carefully and the one using it should pay attention and check if people are really getting what is being said. Adding context to the terms helps a great deal, I may not understand that particular term, but if the context surrounding it is clear enough, I can have a good hint of it.

We should all consider that the spirit is that we understand each other to avoid confusion and grievances. That comes first, if you have to drop the "accent", do so for the sake of clear communication.
