As a non-native speaker, I did need to look up bureau_de_change before
first using it back then, but it does not cause confusion for me
anymore. The most common word in Hungarian for this is "money
exchanger"/"money exchange" ("pénzváltó"/"pénzváltás"), and the clerks
usually sit at a desk behind a glass wall with a little opening or
bars, not around a table. Other words to describe this might be
"currency exchange booth" (probably a bit more official) or "cash
exchange window".
Our word for changing_table=* is something like "diaper changer
[place]" ("pelenkázó") or more like "a place where you change
diapers", the word itself weakly implicates a separate room, although
this should not cause confusion. Interestingly, the dictionary
definition suggests a translation "pelenkáz" = "changing the baby",
but the term itself does not narrow this down to babies and it is
applicable to all age groups.
Do you know a language where this could cause an issue for real?
