Well, five languages:

Dalen. (Norwegian: Valleys.... hence dales in Yorkshire.).

S'il vous plait. (French: Please... so very important to know).

This one is not really foreign though Plaid Cymru may think otherwise so I beg their pardon and say I do know one must never sing Sospan Fach in English! Especially in Llanelli:
Rheilffordd: (Welsh: Railway)

Kras (Slavik: Anglicised to karst - a particular form of landscape named after its type region)

Diminuendo. (Italian: Become quieter. Used unaltered in music.)
