Translating Your Script Into a Foreign Language to Sell Overseas?

Has anyone tried this as a means to get something going in terms of interest/exposure for their work? Obviously, there will be issues with certain cultural nuances that need to be accounted for within the story, not to mention industry-specific customs in overseas film markets... of which, I know little about. If there're recommendations to get up-to-speed about foreign film markets, let me know!

Efforts are getting a bit futile.
