Sean (pronounced "Shawn") or Ian in Gaelic-derived languages (Irish, Scottish).
Jean (pronounced "Zhan") in French.
João (pronounced "Zhwan") in Portuguese.
In the various versions posted by other respondents, the 'J' for most European languages (from Netherlands east) is pronounced 'Y'.

When it comes to JOHN as a male name (especialy biblical one ) there is a diferance between serbian and croatian form (I have to notice this since some one mentioned it: in Serbian (and Macedonian btw) it's Jovan (Yovaan) and in Croatian- Ivan (like in Russian). Don't know why though.... :)

Ivan is Russian for John.
Giovanni or Gian is Italian for John.
Johannes, I believe, is also for John, but no sure what language.
