What is Minion called in the various dubs and translations of 'Megamind'?

Latin America Spanish: Servil ('servile')

Brazilian Portuguese: Criado ('servant' or 'attendant')

Swedish: Hejduk ('henchman')

Romanian: Lacheu ('lackey' or 'flanky')

Czech: Poskok ('Hop' but also 'underling', 'stooge')

Hungarian: Talpnyali (seems to be a corruption of the word 'Talpnyaló', which means 'fawning' or 'a toady')

French: Nounou ('Nanny' or 'babysitter')

Megamind's Nanny!' #that's so fucking valid #if a languge not here assume I either couldn't find enough info online or they kept Minion as just 'Minion'
