Default Sneezing

I am curious, in your language what do you say when someone sneezes? In Polish we say "Na zdrowie!" what means something like "For your health".

In French, we say "À vos souhaits!" -

It's hard to translate in English. It basically means that you wish the person to realize its wishes.

Also, I think it could be funny to know how we translate the sneeze sound in every language. Wouldn't it be funny?

In French, we say "atchoum!"

In English we say "bless you". And the sound of a sneeze is usually represented by the word "Atchoo".
