Multilingual Profanity Filter

---

Introduction

This project provides a profanity filter that supports multiple languages. It is designed to be easy to use and integrate into various applications. The filter uses a comprehensive list of profane words for each supported language, allowing it to effectively identify and filter out inappropriate content.

It uses the List of Dirty, Naughty, Obscene, and Otherwise Bad Words as its primary source for profane words, which is a widely used repository of such words in multiple languages.
