In french they are called this:
Pawn - Pion (Same translation)
Bishop - Fou (Mad man)
Knight - Cavalier (Horseman)
Rook - Tour (Tower)
Queen - Dame (Miss)*
King - Roi (Same translation)
*The queen is called miss because queen in french is "Reine" so the king and queen would both be abbreviated with R but many people do call them queens so if you do they'll probably understand
