Words like "Tumz is Paralyzed" come up on my chat log in English no matter what the nationality of players I'm with. Enfeebles you often tell from animations. HP totals are displayed in numbers and color coded based on percentage of max. Most of the time, I know exactly what I need to do to the players because it's obvious. If I miss something, they're never shy about asking. Simple phrases like "Stona", "Petrified", "Haste", "Paralyzed" etc., get the point across easily. If a player doesn't feel like communicating that, it's their loss, but they're usually not. There's nothing you need to explain about simple concepts like "cast this spell on my now please".
