Especially any country outside of Europe (which I am familiar with) such as Middle-Eastern cultures or Asian culture. Any answers will be much appreciated! Thanks!

In Turkish, we say "Çok yaşa" which means "live long". And the person who sneezes replies "Sen de gör" which means "You (see) too".

To a-soul-dying-forgot: purely considering which you translated "bless you" from English to different languages, would not advise that what human beings actually say in those international locations whilst somebody sneezes. Spanish: SALUD (wellbeing) Russian: BOOD ZDOROV (be healthful) German: GESUNDHEIT (wellbeing)

In Japan, you say nothing. The person sneezing is ashamed to be spreading their germs and may apologize.
In German: Gesundheit = health.

In Germany : "Gesundheit", which basically means "health". It's one of those "lost in translation" phrases.
