Japanese: 豚インフルエンザ [toninfuruenza]


I am sure that the correct reading for that one is "buta infuruenza".

Danish: svineinfluenza

And it is a problematic name because the virus may contain DNA strains from influenza in pigs (and poultry and humans), but you get it from other people, not from eating pork

In Latvian:

Cuuku gripa.
(actually the word "cuuku" is spelled with one long 'u' but unfortunately this site doesn't accept Latvian lengthening marks)
