In Swedish it's "stopp".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_sign#Stop_signs_around_the_world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_sign#Stop_signs_around_th... shows examples of "Stop" used in Germany and Italy in the 1950s.
The German Wikipedia, at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoppschild https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoppschild , gives an example of "stop" used in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (after the German occupation of Czechoslovakia) in 1939, though it says the sign was an imported variant.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stoppen#German https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stoppen#German points out:
> As in Dutch stoppen, the sense “to stop” is figurative from water flow being stopped by plugging. Only in this figurative meaning has the form been adopted into standard German proper, under the reinforcing influence of English to stop.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stop https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stop gives a list of continental European languages where 'stop' is part of the language. Nearly all borrow from the English. Not Dutch, however.
