You can use italics for foreign words. Usually, the first time the foreign word is used it is italicized. After that, you don't have to italicize that same word or phrase again. However if you think it might interfere with clarity, italicize it. In my book, THE GREAT CALL OF CHINA, you can see how my publisher handled the foreign words and phrases used in that book.

For example, if one happened to be writing a book that was set in Ireland and needed to include some words in Irish - (and no, not just the way I speak) - would one use italics then? Thanks, Orla How about non-english words?
