Currently, enchanting tables show some words, randomized and (if needed) trimmed, in the standard galactic alphabet. These aren't related to the enchantment you get. Some are English words, some are references, such as the, elder and scrolls after the beef with Bethesda, or embiggen from The Simpsons.
It would be fun if each language could have its specific words which only the people who actually live that culture could get, just like the current ones can only be understood if you know the works they come from.
For example, some joke keywords only Italian speakers could understand could be molise (region of Italy which according to a satirical conspiracy doesn't exist, or even the "Esilom? Molise, cosa inutile" viral video), garpez (found in a movie by Aldo, GIovanni & Giacomo), and simpler words like pizza, prepositions like di, pretty much trying to keep consistency with the original length for each word, so incantesimo would be too long to replace enchant but incanto could work.
For Australian English, kangaroo would be one; for New Zealand English, kiwi would work; for German, bielefeld; Spanish, quijote; French, chocolatine. Enchanting jokes would be regularly translated on Crowdin.
Restrictions:
1) ASCII characters.
2) No inappropriate jokes, i.e. politics, religion, eroticism, violence; unless strictly uncontroversial: imperium (Roman Empire) in Latin is fine, but 2137 (Wojtyła's death) in Polish or spigola (fish brought to the parliament) in Italian wouldn't be approved.
