Oh. My. GOD!

OK international Magnum fans, this one's for you...
I was just thinking about that classic Higgins line and I was wondering how it was dubbed in other languages. Is it an exact translation (eg., Mon DIEU! in French), or did they choose another expression that was more suitable?
Ideally, I'd love to hear some samples, but the text would be interesting anyway.

In Italy Higgins says "Oh mio Dio!" that is the exact translation of the original "Oh my God!"
Here it is a sample from "Squeeze Play" (4.7)

Whenever someone sends you an "OMG!" via text, chat or email, tell them Higgins was the original LEET speaker!

I have to hear the Korean dub! If they have actually dubbed Magnum into Catalan, there must be a whole bunch of lesser-known languages that are out there. Someday I'd love to compile a video of Higgins saying "Oh my god" back to back to back in all the languages I can find. I imagine it being hilarious!

No Higgins on this video but it's in Catalan language.
It's a 1989 spot from TV3 (our national channel) publiciting the 8th season.
As you can see, it's a montage
.The fat man is asking Magnum about his new adventures. MAGNUM images are from "Birdman of Budapest" and the Journalist images were recorded in front of the Television Studios.
Enjoy

That's awesome - such deep serous sounding voices they use.
Thanks for sharing Donut Man!
