That seems at least as good as any plan I can think of, so I have no 
objections. :)

In case it might help, I do know just enough Lojban to use the dictionary 
for simple words; so if you wanted to use 'one hundred miles north of 
Niagara Falls' instead of a generic placeholder, I can look up the actual 
words for the direction and distance once the translation is settled, thus 
preserving my preferred level of privacy about my physical location.
