This was brought up in another thread some time back and the point of Commanding someone to "Kowtow" or "Prostrate" is an interesting one. If you command someone to do one of these and they don't understand the vocabulary, what then?

The consensus was that if the recipient failed the resistance roll and did not understand the vocabulary (or the language for that matter) then they would stand there confused for a turn.
