Thread drift-sort of

Teresa was the only one so far that posted how to say "thank you"
in another language. So Merci Teresa.

And to demonstrate that googling is a wonderful, but addictive resource
[kinda like Mudcat there]

I decided to be pro-active and find a site that provided that information.

And they are legion...

Here is one:

Thank You Worldwide

And here are some examples from that site:

Ewe Togo (Africa) - Akpé (Appé)
Ewe Togo (Africa) - Apké na wo (Thanks to you)

PS. Since music makes the world world kin, we should learn more about our kinfolk, don't you think?
