More information about Final Jeopardy:

“Malka” is Hebrew, “Rainha” is Portuguese, and “Rouva” is Finnish. Many European languages use some form of “Dame”/”Dama”/”Dam” to represent the queen.

Chess-poster.com has a list of the chess pieces in 43 different languages. One thing I find interesting: in Russian, “Queen” is Ferz’; I find that surprising because so many female proper names in Russian end in the letter A (which happened to be my path into getting this clue correct playing along at home.)
