Hi.
I'm a software engineer and in love with warplanes.
Im trynna git a website done about the warplanes used in WW2 and the evolution of the US airforce since then. Wanna finish it with a message in as many languages as possible. Its all in the title.
Thanks

P.S. I've been here before. Love it

Let me take a wild guess... you're from Texas ?

In French I'd say Le numéro 1 du monde but you might need someone to check that

Romanian: Numărul unu în lume.
Swedish: Numret ett i världen.
Hebrew: מִסְפָּר אַחַת בָּעוֹלָם [mispár ah´át ba"olám]
Modern Greek: Αριθμός ένα στο κόσμο [arithmós éna sto kósmo] (Expecting confirmation)
Hungarian: Szám egy a világban. (Expecting confirmation)

It sounds better with "dans" (in) like Cãlin did in several languages: Le numéro 1 dans le monde.

(one as an adjective:) Egyes számú a világban.

In tennis, I would say "le n°1 mondial" in French.

Portuguese : "o número 1 do/no mundo"

I think I would say "etta i världen".

Polish: numer jeden na (całym) świecie
Russian: номер один в мире

Finnish: maailman ykkönen

Yes that is the phrase used in sports, but here it is about the US airforce being #1 (= the strongest, the best one, etc. according to his website)

Thanks for the corrections, guys! I'm still expecting confirmation (or infirmation) of the Greek translation.
