There is also "ananas" in Korean: 아나나스.
And there is also "凤梨"/"鳳梨"(Fèng lí in Mandarin) in Japanese: 鳳梨(ほ ーり, hóꜜòrì)[1]. But I think neither of them are commonly used now. So maybe it is the influence of English-speaking countries that makes (at least) these two languages choose "pineapples" now rather than other possibilities.
