I found this funny

Hum, to return to the original question (or at least, what I think the question was), I suppose the Japanese could name a ship 'arigatō', which seems to mean more or less the same thing as obligado in Spanish(or obrigado in Portuguese) - though why anyone would want to call a ship 'Thank You' I wouldn't like to guess.

Or are you looking for words that mean something in Japanese, and something else in Spanish? You could call it 'San', which is 'three' in Japanese, 'Saint' (as a prefix) in Spanish, 'dream' in Serbo-Croat, 'journal' in Vietnamese, 'meat' in Kuna, etc, etc.

could english be the universlal language in ports?

It's a bit rough that the French get the universal language of love, and the British get the international language of shipping!

What were the French doing for all those years when Britania was ruling the waves?

Cheers!

Allegedly, a Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following -Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?" Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English." Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?" Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war."
I bet most here have already seen that one, but it seemed appropriate.
