Guinea Pig (English)
Cavy (English)
Cochon d'Inde (French)
Cobaye (French)
Naggrís (Icelandic)
Meerschweinchen (German)
Conejillos de Indias (Spanish)
Cobaia (Galician)
The last two courtesy of my brother.
Actually I think there are a lot of lists like this - e.g. see wikipedia on GPs.

Thanks to the help from Stayroyla we now have guinea pig in Greek:
in english script it is indiko hiridio
You have to be careful when you use translation software not to get the translation for animals used for medical research - if in doubt put in cavy, but you still might not get the right words!
