Yes, I was trying to think of further breakings down of the concept in other languages but didn't come up with anything useful :) There are some technical ways in which Greek philosophers talk about knowledge and truth and so forth using various technical vocabulary, but that's not quite the same.

I'm definitely not sure that I know any language where 'knowing something that really has happened because you have been convinced by evidence that it has happened' is distinguished from 'thinking you know that something has happened because you have been convinced by evidence that it has happened when in fact it hasn't happened but something else equivalent has, with that result that you sort of know something that has happened for which you didn't have any direct evidence, and where you will never realise that this isn't knowledge type A' :)
