Ideally I prefer to use, and see used, emotes like "/em speaks to his connational in their native language, difficult to understand to those not from Othard.", and if someone watching thinks he should understand, they can send me a tell and I'll tell him what my character said.
To see dialogues in a directly uncomprehensible language bothers me, and I think it'd bother others too if I started RPing in Italian in /say even though I can. More than anything though, it's mixed English and Japanese that makes me cringe ("You're so kawaii, Clive-chan!"), or the use of romanji in general. If you really want to RP in Japanese and not do it with an English emote like the one I mentioned earlier, at least use kanji so that I just see jibberish and don't bother trying to understand OOCly.
As for what I do with my Au Ras, I tend to use those emotes when open-RPing. When close-RPing in LS instead, we use brackets to indicate that a certain english dialogue is being pronounced in Doman, so that those with Echo (most of us have IC Echo in our LS) can directly read and understand.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
