I remember reading an article on AW&ST about USAF IPs training Portuguese crews on low level, "high"-g maneuvers on C130s.

During high workload/stress flight regimes, the IPs noticed that the trainees weren't responding to "Push" commands, despite being fluent in English. Eventually, they realized that "Push" sounds almost the same as "Puxe," which is Portuguese for "Pull." So, the IPs switched to "Unload" instead and solved the problem.
