Chess notation in different languages - community help needed

Hi,
I'm working on a free, open-source plugin for Lichess:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chess-countdown/kpdengkjmlndpmnlllipgdgkpdlcgndi

The functionality I'm currently working on reads moves from the chess notation. Browser speech synthesis supports the following languages:

  • German (done!)
  • English (done!)
  • Spanish
  • French
  • Hindi
  • Indonesian
  • Italian
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Dutch
  • Polish (done!)
  • Portuguese (done!)
  • Russian
  • Chinese

If you're a native speaker (or at least proficient) in any of these languages I will add support for them if you help me translate these chess terms:

  • takes: _____
  • check: _____
  • mate: _____
  • promotes: _____
  • rook: _____
  • bishop: _____
  • knight: _____
  • queen: _____
  • king: _____
  • short castle: _____
  • long castle: _____

If the names of the files use different letters than abcdefgh or the language doesn't use ordinary numbers 12345678 please include them too.

Please use the alphabet native for each language.

All help will be greatly appreciated and your name/nickname (if you want) will be added to the list of contributors!
