Certainly, translating culturally meaningful words and sayings.
Nope. Fictional literature is not allowed to have fictional characters speak words whose origins can be traced to the names of fictional characters from other fictional literature. It's quantum stuff. I'm frankly surprised the page the sentence was on wasn't sucked into a black hole immediately after I read it.
