The French word for "dork" is "un niais" or "un nigaud".
"Dork" in Pilipino is "ENGOT", or "TORPE". These are terms used in the Southern Tagalog provinces. Other Filipino provinces, especially in Central Luzon, prefer to use the old term "INUTIL". "Engot", "torpe" and "inutil" are not to be confused and misused with "TANGA"- which is a Filipino term for IDIOT. A dork, as defined, is someone who is always USELESS when it comes to helping out, or unable to think for himself. The latter term, "Tanga" is extremely derogatory, and may lead into hard feelings especially if heard by the person concerned. The first three are lighter terms and may be used in humor or collective banter.
In Ilocano, "dork" can be translated as "ilaknak" which means foolish or silly.
The Tagalog word for "English" is "Ingles."
