Olive.
I thought to myself that this must exist as a service, no? So I found this:

Aceituna en español
Azeitona in Portuguese
Olijf (Dutch)
The tree is Olivo; the olives themselves are Aceitunas, but the oil is Aceite De Oliva.
This is Spanish.

It seems that there are a few common types of sounds
Then some unique ones that still might fit into those bins:
Marathi is listed as "Jai-fa-la", which is still somewhat similar to the second type
someone commented Gan-lan, which seems to be different
Zay-toon is also common in languages from the Iberic Peninsula: both Spanish and Portuguese got it (and a few other words) from Arabic.
Zaytoon is also used in urdu and hindi.
Oliva (Slovak)
Oliv
Have you tried asking Google Translate?
I don't think they need a specific answer, but rather they want to comment on the different variations
They are attention whoring, nothing better to do.
LOL.
OK, dude. You know you can just ignore the post, right? Just move along.
