How do you say that in...?
I'm sure this must have been done already, but a stroll through the depths of the forum turned up nothing and the forum search function rejected every word of "how do you say that in", so.
How do you say that in English?
Wie sagt man das auf Deutsch?
Comment dites-vous ça en francais?
Πώς λέγεις αυτό στην Ελληνικά;
Hvordan sier man det på norsk?
Vorynthel:
Alläs enwn svae Vorynthel?
[ˈɑlːæs ˈenʊn ˈsʋ̥ɑːe ˈʋoɾʉnˌθel]
DEM.ACC name-3.NPST Q.INS Vorynthel
How do you say that in Vorynthel? lit. "with what does Vorynthel name that?"
This would be used if you were pointing at some object and asking for the Vorynthel word for it. If someone said some word or phrase you didn't understand and you were asking for a translation, you'd ask them:
Alläs tewan Vorynthelave svae (hen)?
[ˈɑlːæs ˈtewɑn ˈʋorʉnˌθelɑʋe ˈsʋ̥ɑːe (hen)]
DEM.ACC say-3.NPST Vorynthel-INS Q.INS (one)
How is that said in Vorynthel? or How does one say that in Vorynthel? lit. "with what is that said with Vorynthel?" or "with what does one say that with Vorynthel?"

Too direct a translation. If you're asking a specific person or people how they specifically say something, then it works, but this is more common:Sangfroidish wrote: Comment dites-vous ça en francais?

Selvesc goes with a plural verb because it has repurposed "hi end ha qui …" (there are those who …), which takes a third person plural conjugation, as its impersonal pronoun.

This is what I learned, but I could be wrong.

I don't know how to gloss it...
This, however, is correct (hopefully).

Vålakil, Uralic conlang.
Kuhn våhlkkat Vålkakilak.
[ku:n vœ̈.l:k.kät vœ̈lkakilik]
kuhn våhl-k-ka-t Vålkakil-ak
how say-DEF.OBJ-FUT-SG2 V-TERM
'How do you say it in Vålkakil.'
-n is an old Genitive-Instrumental suffix. Kuhn is grammaticalized as 'how'.
'In a language' takes the terminative is Vålkakil.
I've to think about which TAM is used in such a generic meaning. Future is maybe not the choise.
