Can anyone help me? Google Translate says "fremdo," but I don't trust an online translator. I'm looking for a noun, "Foreigner."

Dankon.

I would propose "fremdulo".

I would agree with nornen "fremdulo".
Another posibility would be "alilandano", "one from another land"

yyaann (Mostra el perfil) 10 de maig de 2014 7.44.01

And yet another one would be eksterlandano , "one from out of this land".

You can translate it with many different words in Esperanto. Just to name a few:

fremdulo = someone you don't know
aligentano = someone from a different family or tribe
alilandano = someone from a different country
eksterlandano = outlander
alihejmulo = someone living in other house
...

If you click on Google's translated word - in this case "fremdo" - you will see several other suggestions.

In my experience, the word fremdulo is the term most commonly encountered. But bryku gives a number of other very good suggestions, some of which (such as alilandano, also Bemused's example) show up almost as often.

Fremdulo means "stranger"
I'd suggest use more accurate expresion "alilandano/ eksterlandano" in stead of Fremdulo

sudanglo (Mostra el perfil) 12 de maig de 2014 10.47.56

I'd suggest use more accurate expression "alilandano/ eksterlandano" instead of Fremdulo
More neutral or less loaded, but not more accurate. Strangeness or 'ne-konateco' is part of the concept of foreign.

In English, an American would not be a foreigner but he is (for an Englishman) an alilandano.

I'm pretty sure an American in England is still a foreigner. As is anyone in a country to which they are not native. The fact that both countries speak the same language doesn't change that.

I agree that "alilandano" is a more accurate translation of the English word "foreigner" than "fremdulo." A stranger is not necessarily a foreigner, and a foreigner may not necessarily be a stranger.
