How to say I love you in 50 languages

What are the three (or four or five or seven) most powerful words in the world?  I Love You.  As a little primer for those of you 1000 Fighters headed abroad this summer, we put together the best list we could find of telling another person I love you.  There is something truly magical about being in a beautiful setting with the person you love, then telling them in a foreign tongue, I Love You.  Happy Travels!
