Lost in translation

[mightyWBA]

What is Greek for "grease",and Turkish for "turkey"?
Also, when the film "Grease" was released in Greece what was it called?
Cheers.

[Aschenbach]

'grease' in Greek is γράσο or λιπαντικό (lubricant)

a 'turkey' in Turkish is called a 'hindi' as a bird and 'hindi eti' as meat.

I suspect Grease the fim is known by its English name in Greece like we say 'Les Miserables'.

Grease was called Brilliantina in Spain as grease just means fat (or so imdb.com says)
