Alopecia around the world......

Ok, consider this a language experiment. I think it would be neat to see how the multiple terms/words in the alopecia vocabulary are translated around the world. So, reply by looking at the list I provided below, with how, if they do, translate into your native language. Footnote: It's interesting a vast majority of European nations translate the word "wig" starting with the letter "P".

Alopecia
Wig / Wigs
support
hairpiece
hair replacement
hairloss/hair loss
hair system
hair prosthesis

In Spanish !

Alopecia = Alopecia
Wig / Wigs = Peluca/Pelucas
support = Apoyo
hairpiece = Bisoñé
hair replacement = Transplante de pelo
hairloss/hair loss = Perdida de cabello (but in my country, Chile, if we have to say that we are losing our hair we just say "Me estoy quedando pelado/a" XD
hair system = Tratamiento para el Cabello/Sistema de Integración Capilar
hair prosthesis = Prótesis de cabello

that's it :)
