"İkinci Dünya Savaşı" in Turkish. But you might get difficulties with some letters.

And the google translator might be helpful but I am not sure if it will give exact results but when you type "Second World War" it gives these results;

第二次世界大戦 (Japanese)

第二次世界大戰 (Chinese) It gives a clue about its reliability, same result for Japanese and Chinese.

الحرب العالمية الثانية (Arabic)

제2차 세계 대전 (Korean)

mate we could do this all day is there any thing in particular

I don't think the D in D Day meant anything, in the Pacific for example they often used other letters. It was merely the day of an invasion.

When military planners were referring to a specific mission that was yet to be given a time or a date they would often say "At H-hour, On D-day," it was also a way of keeping time & date out of communications should the enemy get wind of a planned attack.

Well if you want to be technical about it, no body is 100% sure, it is said to have many meanings such as designation, doomdays or I have even seen references to death day. But blacksnake statement is accurate however the D in this case is mostly accepted as literally meaning Day, so D-day means Day - Day, just the day the operation was to begin, but it is also widely accepted as designation day as well as said in:

'D-Day, The Greatest Invasion - A peoples History'

Furthermore it explains that D+7 literally means Day + 7, Designation day + 7 or 7 days after the designated landing date.

A good reference to this is a report in Times Magazine on June 12 1944 stating that "as far as the U.S. Army can determine, the first use of D for Day, H for Hour was in Field Order No.8, of the First Army, A.E.F., issued on September 20, 1918 which read, ' The first Army will attack at H-hour on D-Day with the object of forcing the evacuation of the St.Mihiel salient." (p.491)www.nationalww2museum.org

Brigadier General Schultz reminds us that the Invasion of Normandy on the 6th of June 1944 was not the only D-day of ww2. Every Amphibious assualt including those of the Pacfic,, Nth Africa, and in Sicily and Italy - had it's own D-day.

D-day is simply an alteration of H-Hour

Hope that explains why I put Designation day since it is the same thing.

Yeah, the media is what created 'D-Day' as being the Normandy Landings. There were hundreds of D-Days through out the war (ever amphibious assault in the Pacific, for instance, was a D-Day). The Normandy Invasion should really be 'D-Day June 6th, 1944, Normandy' but most people are unaware of all the other D-Day's.

__________________

Correct this is why in some language aka French there are two specific words Designation Day = Jour-J
D-Day ( here June 6th 1944) = le Débarquement

Same thing for the Germans who call it the "Invasion"

__________________

While true, after the Normany Landings, and the way the media latched on to "D-Day" the US tried to prevent any confusion and renamed many of the landings in the pacific, such as A-Day, or L-Day. I will have to dig out the book, but I believe I got that from D-Day in the Pacific.

I thought that the French thought the meaning for the D in D-day was disembarkation or debarkation.

Hmm perhaps that is what your Le Debarquement word is. lol just noticed the similarity.
Can you tell I don't speak French?
