 Simple words in many languages

At the moment I am speaking to people in many countries and would be grateful for advice on where to find:

good morning, good afternoon, good evening, hello, goodbye, please and thank you in the following languages:

Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Hindi, Turkish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Slovenian, Afrikaans. French and German I can cope with but it would probably be wise to include them for tidiness' sake.

The ideal solution would be a table with the seven phrases each in a column with each language in a row.

I look forward to hearing your ideas on sources of this information.

Many thanks
