Hi all. I was wondering if there is the idiom "melting pot" in languages apart from English, but that means close to the same thing literally (or just anything that has the same idiomatic meaning). Especially when you can say that a place is a "melting pot" of cultures, etc. Thanks!

In German you can call it "Schmelztiegel der Kulturen" or what is used more frequently "Multikulti-Gesellschaft".
