You should also consider a third alternative. Is there a character in your story who will have the same difficulty as the reader with the "foreign" words? Having a piece of dialogue that makes the meaning clear is usually preferable to an (intrusive) in-text gloss.

As an example someone might say When you call that a keris, is that any dagger or a special kind for ritual use?
