Language barriers

Hey Everyone its me again with another random question that probably
was already discussed.

It seems much of the words spoken for spells and magic like "lumos" or
"accio" are based in Latin or greek phrases in a western speech
vernacular. I wonder how Southeast Asian, African, or other
non-western wizarding populations with drastically different languages
are able to perform magic when the words spoken are european based.
Are translations of the spells used, or is there a substitute that
closely equals those words in terms of creating the same effect? Or do
they use an entirely different system of language. It seems magic of
HP is very western based--many of the wizards mentioned in the
chocolate frog cards, or in history books focus on a European-based
telling of history (not unlike many classes and publications in the US). 
Again, this may be rambling, but tell me what you think...
