The canonical German translation is "pflücke den Tag", which is exactly "pluck the day", as suggested in the article.

  German here. Never heard that translation. Could be either regional or an old translation. Here, we would say "Nutze den Tag" -- "make use of the day" in the sense of "don't waste it".

    Yes, as an Austrian I've also never heard "Pflücke den Tag", and am only familiar with the translation you mentioned.

  Yep, same in Dutch: “pluk de dag”.
