That is without mentioning translations. The idea carried by
the word "profanity" according to the sense here over does not
seem to have a matching translation in my mother tongue. On one
hand "profane words" seems pretty weak, and "blasphemy" on the
other hand seems a wee bit too strong.
The encyclopedia seem to document this sense to be older and
literal, so I guess the more general sense is in common use:

Somehow, it is kind of reassuring to read that:
“The FCC regulations regarding "fleeting" use of
expletives were ruled unconstitutionally vague by a
three-judge panel of the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of
Appeals in New York on July 13, 2010, as they violated
the First Amendment due to their possible effects
regarding free speech.”
Kind regards,
