Expression "This is not well seen here" is correct?
Hi, we have an expression in Spain when you are going to do something that is not very right in the culture, or other people could think that is not right, we say "esto no está bien visto". I have looked up the translation in English and I found things like: This is not well seen, or this is not looked down at, or this is not frowned upon.... Could you please tell me what is the most natural expression to say that? Thank you!

Question

Answer

When something is unacceptable, people often say, "that is frowned upon" or "looked down on".
Another alternative to unacceptable behaviour is to say, "we don't take kindly to that".

Hope this helps
