A nice student asked for my help with a collection he got, he collects objects names in many langueges, now he needs the names of the bridge suits ♣♦♥♠ in as many langueges he can find.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I guess one should pick the second option (♠Pik, ♥Herz, ♦Karo, ♣Kreuz) which are the "official" names. If the request is specifically about Bridge, go for the first option.
(This was just for clarification, not nitpicking ;-).
