"printer" in multiple languages
For the time being I'm employed in screen printing t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. I want to print myself a few shirts that say, "I'm the printer..." but instead of ... I want have the word "printer" in as many different languages as I can find. This is the best place I can think of for such a request. Gaelic(s), Cornish, Welsh, German, Icelandic, Navajo, Swahili, and/or whatever languages you know that have a word for "one who prints ink onto something" would be greatly appreciated. Please make sure to include any diacritical marks. Thanks ahead of time.

Have you tried "Google Translate?" It's a free app that will translate a word or phrase into more languages than you can name.

To quote an ancient and venerable sage, "When given a choice, most people will choose." 
I can tell you that "printer" in Spanish and French and German are "impresor" and "imprimeur" and "der Druker", respectively, but only because I just looked them up. In Welsh it is probably something like "pwllwynrdr", though I suspect that is an abbreviation for the full word.
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

Sorry, but german is "der Drucker".
The problem is, if you were to write "I am the: ..." you would obviously only write "Drucker" because in that case the and der mean the same.
You see I can explain it in a way nobody understands, that was also the reason why I hoped somebody else would be faster with an answer.
Anyway good luck and remember that for printers left is right...

And in Afrikaans the word is drukker.

I second that.
