In many languages there is no direct translation, as the idea expressed by the English adverb is expressed by a prefix in many languages. German is somewhat half way in-between as it uses a prefix in the infinitive of its verbs, but often, though not always, separates the prefix into the same form as the English adverb when conjugating them.
Dutch: usually expressed by the prefix uit-
Esperanto: usually expressed by the prefix el- and/or preposition el (1), ekstere (2)
Finnish: ablative case (-lta, -ltä) or elative case (-sta, -stä)
German: usually expressed by the prefix aus-
Hungarian: usually expressed by the prefix ki-
Latin: usually expressed by the prefix ex-
Russian: t+|ru|в�-|sc=Cyrl
Slovak: usually expressed by the prefix vy- or sometimes z-
Swedish: sometimes expressed by the prefix ut-. In some cases considered somewhat formal.
