In Hebrew (the language in which the 'Old Testament' was written, or in Judaism the 'Torah') the word for Lord God is 'Adonai Elohim' or 'Adonai YHWH' (pronounced Yahweh)

The Catholics refer to Him as 'Abba' (Aramaic for Father)

Muslims call Him 'Allah'

The Greek translation is 'Deus'

As you say in Spanish 'Dios' and in French 'Dieu' (although traditionally speaking these countries in the past would have likely referred to God in the Latin as this was the language in which Masses were held until 'The Great Schism ', therefore 'Dominus Deus' would be a proper representation of 'Lord God' all the way up till the time of the 'Reformation' when The Name of God found it's way into the vernacular. The reason I stop here instead of giving more examples of translations of 'The Name' is because there are many other ways to translate the word alone though they do not carry the same meaning as the aforementioned religions ideas of God. Often other translations rely on a reference to a cultural throwback to a polytheistic diety of which there are almost innumerable amount but do not encapsulate the idea of the singular omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, omnibenevolent, omni...etc supreme being. Incidentally the root word for culture is 'cultivate' from which derivates from the word 'cult'

Arabic - Allah
Welsh - Duw

edit: in fact, I must actually correct myself, although all Arab people refer to God as Allah - Allah is actually an Araimic word, not an Arabic word.

maximum folk in the international comprehend English countries and choose directly to bypass there, simply by fact they think of that folk are happier there and that they choose for to be happy too.
