Jay, I say "Eu te amo" in my native language - Brazilian Portuguese - " called "the sweet language" by the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes, and more recently described as a última flor do Lácio, inculta e bela ("the last flower of Latium, wild and beautiful") by Brazilian poet Olavo Bilac" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_language

(music "Eu te amo" by Tom Jobim and Chico Buarque).
Kisses.

Even if Engish were to be made the official language that would not prevent a company that does business with people who speak other languages from requiring that employees speak another language. When I go to a hotel in Europe, the desk clerk usually speaks English. They get a lot of American and British tourists so it is good business for them. I don't believe that you cannot get any job because you don't speak Spanish. And it is not that hard to learn Spanish, anyway. By the way, did you know that English is not even the official language of England? Very few countries have an official language.

Dutch: Ik hou van je (not as someone said: "ik houd van u", that would be the formal way, but that's not the way you communicate with a loved one, just like in french it is "je t'aime" not "je vous aime").
Portuguese: Te amo

Amis = Did love
Amos = Will love
Amus = Would love
Amu = Love!

The people who answered "ich liebe Sie" for German are either not very proficient in German or are love-slaves. Sie is used formally; in an intimate relationship you'd say "du"--which in the Akkusativ is "dich".
So for normal romantic love, you'd say "ich liebe dich".
If you're polyamorous, you may say "ich liebe euch" (I love you (plural, non-formal)
Non-romantic love is "Ich habe dich lieb" (one person, intimate)
or "Ich habe euch lieb" (more than one, intimate). In a few cases, perhaps a child to a teacher, you may have need for "Ich habe Sie lieb."

Hebrew- Ani ohev otach (when saying to a girl otherwise otach becomes otcha)
Russian- Ya lubloo tibya
