Guys i was translating the Cyndassa's brother quest and found these words:

''How dare you approach me, you filthy were-monger''
and
''Take your filthy were-mongering hide out of my sight''
i really don't know what WERE-MONGER means, at the internet it says is something like ''dealer'', but don't make sense in the context of the quest :|

If it's used similarly in the way that the phrases "war-monger" or "scare-monger" are used then it could be someone who deals in (hence, mongering) lycanthropy by way of spreading the disease. I don't know the exact context where it's used but if the person is saying that to a lycanthropic individual then that definition would fit.

I suppose if you wanted to translate were-monger then you'd have to find a pithy way to say "disease-spreading lycanthrope" in another language.

Yeah, were-monger is a bit of a weird word I have never seen used anywhere. You coukd just as well have gone for «were-spreader» or «were-lover».
