i respect and admire those that have supplied the translations to your question, but i sometimes have a problem with english.

before leaving the country i learn how to say "fire" in the language(s) where i'll be traveling.

it's easy for me to remember one word in an emergency. and, "fire" is a real attention-getter no matter where you are.

obviously i would not shout "fire" in a theatre.

but i always planned on shouting it out if there were people nearby.. even here @ home..

Unless you have decent pronounciation, I'd go with getting them printed and laminated, to help with pointing.

In Polish:
Help me ! - Pomocy!
I am injured and need paramedic help - Jestem chory i potrzebuje doktora!
I have been robbed - Zostalem obrabowany!
Can someone call police for me? - Potrzebuje Policje (in poland numbers for ambulance, fire and police are differetnt...)
I am underattacked by terrorists ! - Jestem atakowany przez terrorystow
Where can I get a good meal - Kielbasy?
Want to buy recepie for ice cubes? - Czy chces kupic przepis na kostki lodowe?

When I was translating that I laughed so hard since it reminded me about Monty Pythons scetch about hungarian translator...
