As far as the screen in Luke's x-wing, DF....that was R2's beeps and whistles translated into written word that Luke could read and thus know what R2 was saying. It wasn't alien, just written "basic" which is what is commonly spoken in the SW universe.

Funnily enough, though, the Imperials seem to use that style of text too, yet in the Death Star, the tractor beam controls are clearly in English.Hmmmm.

It is weird that Han would say that. It is even weirder because, unless I am missing something, they never even say Oh My God! Or even take his name in vain. But then you gotta think about. Greek Mythology did not have A God, it had several Gods and Godessess. But they did have a Hades. An after world. And that is exactly what Han Solo could have meant. But that is just my theory agreeing with more previous answers.

I think that the actual word is basically irrelevant. It was meant to signify a bad place and GL chose to use a word widely recognised as being bad.
Someone said about it being a best translation, I think that's the only way to look at it.

I said it. I think we agree here; no point reading into it.

One thing that bothers me about that though is that they took the time to come up with the Spice Mines of Kessel and that wasn't explain, though we all got that it was implicitly bad. Why not do the same with Hans words and let the audience figure it out?
I think the translation idea does work best though...
