The Greek that is transliterated as “Samothrace” in English is translated more specifically as “the island of Samothrace” in some languages. Isthmus Mixe has “the land of Samothrace [which is] in the midst of the sea” and Eastern Highland Otomi uses “little land of Samothrace which sits in the water.” (Source: Viola Waterhouse in Notes on Translation August 1966, p. 86ff.) (See also Cyprus.)

In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it is translated with a sign that depicts the Winged Victory of Samothrace , a famous monument found in the island. (Source: Missão Kophós )
