Urgent translation required -any language!

(Any internationally recognized language that is

) -particularly non-European ones.

I need to stress that a survey on a foreign language program in our school should be returned asap.

So I want translations for "ASAP", "now', "quickly" etc. in as many languages as possible. Especially non-European ones (as I already have several of those). I'm particularly interested in the sort of colloquial phrases that might not make it into a dictionary but which all people who speak that language will understand. like "chop chop!"

please

"rápidamente", "schnell" and "avec vitesse" exhaust my natural language inventory.
