actually it has to be, die fräulein von les double entente.
the first part 'die Fräulein von' is actually german and means 'the young women (often: maidens, as in not married) of'.
whereas the second part part 'les double entente' is actually mock french, meaning an innuendo or double meanings, (one of them usually 'dirty or naughty').
so the whole thing is probably best translated as 'Young women of disputable honor'.
do i have to draw a picture?

It's not a German word. It's some German words joined up with some French words.
I'm guessing it's supposed to be Die Frauline von les double entente which is all wrong spelling and grammar-wise but kind of means "The Girl of Double Meanings".
But whoever wrote that doesn't have a clue how to speak German. For a start, they've spelt Fraulein wrong.
English speakers often assume that 'double entendre' is a French word meaning 'double meaning' or 'innuendo'. However, the French would never use this. They say 'double entente' when in English we say 'double entendre'.

Die fraulein von - The woman of (German)
Double entente - Double meaning (French)
Put together, they roughly translate as: "The woman of double meanings"? Sorry, that was the best I could come up with. ;-)

The other answers are correct in a way but I'd say that there isn't a literal translation for this.

It could translate as "two-faced woman", I suppose... try and link "the woman of double meanings" with a common phrase you know.

Not exactly
Double meanings would be double entendres
entente is a kind of understanding or agreement
Your word is, in fact, complete gibberish!

entente does not mean 'meaning'.
It means 'agreement' as in the Triple Entente, an alliance of the early 20th century.
double entendre is 'double meaning'.
