"Ananas" is mostly used as the word for Pineapple in other languages.

The story behind the answer

True. In most languages, the word for pineapple is a form of “ananas,” from the Tupi-Guarani term nanás/anana meaning “excellent fruit.” Portuguese explorers carried the fruit—and the name—to Europe in the 16th century; via French, it spread widely. Hence French, German, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, Polish, Romanian, Swedish (and more) use “ananas,” and Indonesian uses “nanas.”

The main outliers are English and Spanish: English says “pineapple” (originally a term for pine cones) and Spanish uses “piña” for the same cone-like look. Portuguese splits: European Portuguese often says “ananás,” while Brazilian Portuguese commonly says “abacaxi.” Memory tip: Around the world it’s “ananas”; think “a-nanas = a not-banana, the spiky fruit.” English and Spanish are the exceptions.
