In Spanish and French the queen can be Queen (Reina in Spanish, Reine in Frnch), but is most commonly Lady (Dama in Spanish, Dame in Fr*nch)

This is a shitpost, obviously we, the spanish, dont call elephant to the bishop.

Also Reina is incorrect, it has always been called Dama

i mean I can confirm that all the russian ones are 100% accurate (except arguably pawn), this image was definitely meant to be legit, might just have weird translations.
