in my moms language: «ого!»
«вау!»
«супер!» (impressed by something ig) "super!"
oh and ух ты! i think is like a whoa or an "oh wow!'
Wicked!
Portuguese: “Uau” (woo-ah-oo)
bouuuudi ! short form of "boun dioù", or "good god"

By imitating Owen Wilson "woooowwww"
I've always considered myself a Waaaaaaow Owen Wilson kind of gal.
Hala! is wow in Tagalog, Filipino language
Wow! or Wahnsinn! or Krass! - German
Boah!

I didn't know how to write it, but it also crossed my mind. "TschüÜSCH!" felt very wrong.
Łał!
Wow!
O ja Cię kręcę!

Gg on taking up polish, not easy language to learn
Ay Caramba!
Ammata udu! (Ammata means "to mom", no idea what udu means)
Vau in lithuanian :3
Leck Oasch
Wauw!
Wah
But that's just the polish, phonetic way of "wow". Like saying "uao" in norwegian. But considering that's a foreign word our equivalent would be more like "dæven", a soft variation of "Devil".
Basically "What the devil?!"
Godnondeju
Vaŭ
In Esperanto
"Holy Wah!"
In my family, it's always been "Ho-ly shit!"
