The Greek, Ge’ez, and Latin that is transliterated as «paradise» in English is often transliterated in other languages as well. Translations include «Place of well-being» (Toraja-Sa’dan, Tzeltal), «abode of happiness (or: of happy people)» (Marathi), «garden of eternal life» (Uab Meto), or the name of a place where you don’t have to work and fruits drop ripe in your hand (Ekari).

In Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese it is translated as 乐园 / 樂園 (lèyuán in Mandarin, lok6jyun4 in Cantonese). This term, literally meaning «garden of joy,» originates from Buddhist terminology.
