During translation you find curse words or sentences, do you translate it literally as you find it or do you just say cursing?

I think a translator must be honest, and should work his best to convey the message i.e. he should convey what is meant in the source language to the target language. 

For me, I would translate them. However, I won't translate them literally, but rather the equivalent curse in Arabic.

This is a translation I find entertaining, yet challenging. That is just my personal opinion.

For me, I translate them because as a translator your job is not to miss anything and to deliver the document that was handed to you with extreme integrity; it should not be a literal one, but what is equivalent to it in the targeted language.
