Still fun to see in different languages! In Dutch the literal translation is:

♙ Pawn
♖ Tower
♔ King
♕ Lady ♗ Walker (as in: slow runner) ♘ Horse

Pion, toren, koning, dame, loper, paard.

In German it would be

♙ Peasant / Farmer

♖ Tower

♔ King

♕ Lady

♗ Runner

♘ Horse

Bauer, Turm, König, Dame, Läufer, Pferd

But this may be wrong I am not that into chess.

♘ Horse

I think Springer, literally Jumper, is more common.
