It is because not all of us know multiple languages well(some do but not me). I tried doing spanish for a while, but with a very limited spanish vocabulary, I quickly ran out of words.

I don’t know chinese, but are you able to put the words as letters, such as gong xi, or ni hao? I admit, I forget what gong xi means, and both might be incorrect spelling so sorry.

You’re right! gong xi 恭喜 means congrats. You’re spelling is also right. However, for example, no Chinese words have a v inside, so if you word was say wave, I couldn’t respond with Chinese.

irrévocablement - French (I used google; I don’t actually know it)

If it had ended with “nk” I actually would have known one word which started that way: nkasa, which is the plural form of lukasa (the memory device).

nt doesn’t end in a consonant and then a vowel.
