The Greek version of Spongebob Squarepants is possibly better than the English. The snail, Gary, is named "Gari"--short for σαλιγκάρι (salingari), which is Greek for snail.

Kiswahili equivalent of this is, "Ukipanda maboga, usitarajie kuvuna maembe." Which means "If you plant pumpkins, don’t expect to harvest mangoes."

An English idiom about facing the consequences of one’s actions is “you made your bed, now lie in it.” In Italian, an equivalent phrase is hai voluto la bicicletta? Adesso pedala! It means “you wanted the bicycle? Now pedal it!”

In Sinhalese it’s ‘Banda gaththa bere dang gahanna’. It means ‘you tied on a drum? Now play it!’

In Catalan when someone is about to fall asleep and their head is already bowing, they wake up for a moment and straighten it, but it soon bows again, because sleep is prevailing, we say that this person is "weighing figs" ("pesant figues").
