Do you mean a word as opposed to a name?
If so, then "STOP" may be one answer. According to a book on the English language (that I can't seem to find), several non-English language countries used that word on their "STOP Signs."
There may be others.

"Chien chaud" is the literal translation of "hot dog" - but the food is called "hotdog."
One of the words we learned in 3 years of French Class!

If you go to Montreal (where I'm from originaly),you will hear people ordering by the correct French term "chien chaud" or the popular term "hotdog",and often ,they will figure both on the menues,with their little cousin "Hambourgeois". You won't find the word "hotdog " in any French dictionary, but you will find "taxi" though.
