In Spanish, in addition to the one that has been mentioned

- perdón / perdóname / perdóneme
- disculpe / discúlpame / discúlpeme
- lo siento

and also all the logical variations depending on number and person.

arabic script doesn't work so well on this text box, so I am leaving it out.

katqurung (lit. forgive me)
hapa bolmang (lit. Don't be angry)
sizni awara kildim (lit. I have caused you trouble, sometimes can mean sorry, but sometimes it's just polite if someone does something for you)

You forgot the umlaut ;), it's "förlåt". "Excuse me" is "ursäkta (mig)" by the way.

Taiwanese:

"pai se" - Literally "bad meaning" which has the meaning of "embarrassed." In other words:"(I'm) embarrassed (about that)" which is parallel to the Mandarin "bu hao yi si 不好意思" below.

"mai sai shing de" - Literally "don't lose your temper"

Often shortened to just:"shing de" - Literally "temper", "temperament"


Mandarin:

Formal:
"dui bu qi 對不起" Literally "can't face up to"
"bao qian 抱歉" - "holding regret"

More informal:
"bu hao yi si 不好意思" - Literally "bad meaning" which means: "(I'm) embarrassed".
"qing bu yao sheng qi 請不要生氣" - "please don't be angry"
