How is the term "brony" translated into other languages?

I know three translations of the term "brony", an older fan of MLPFIM (usually male):

* Chinese (my native language) - 小馬迷 (xiǎo mǎ mí)
* Japanese (guess) - ブロニー (buronii)
* Russian - брони (broni - also means "armour")

Do you know any other translations of the word "brony"?

I see the Chinese literally means "pony fans" while the others are transliterations. I guess you'd do one or the other in any language. Probably most just say "brony".

I know Spanish speakers also label themselves as “Bronies” :fluttershy:

In Swedish, it would be: Brönny

 

Brother = Bröder
Pony = Ponny

 

 

And yes, it works just the same, just as short to say. It is clever. The one on 4chan who came up with that term is forever the hero of our generation.

In Finnish, it usually seems to be just "brony" – that's what I'd use, too. Though I've seen a couple of articles use the word "ponittaja", a combination of "poni" (pony, obviously) and "fanittaja" (fan). That's a decent translation, but I still prefer "brony".
