Translate into x language: "Ring bell for service"

In My Humble Opinion
1

As my place of employment is a small company, it is not unusual for the front office to be unoccupied when a client comes by. To address this problem I have procured a call bell, and placed it prominently on the front desk. I feel it is only appropriate though, to have a sign explaining that, yes, visitors are supposed to ring the bell. Okay, a simple enough task. But there are two complications.

  1. The nature of our business is such that we cater almost exclusively to customers raised and/or educated outside of the U.S.
  2. I don’t like to do things the easy or simple way as long as there is real work I can be avoiding.

So, international and polyglot Dopers – please provide me with translations for the phrase “Ring bell for service” in as many languages as possible. Keep them real and properly professional, if you please. No “my hovercraft is full of eels”-type submissions.

99% of our clients speak perfectly good English. I’m trying to make a point of being interesting, not just ensuring that the purpose of the bell is understood.

Esperanto: Alklaku la sonorilon por servo.

Okay, that’s more like ‘hit the bell’ in the sense of hitting a door-knocker, but it will do.

Ergh, that’s hotel-sign Spanish all right.

Llame al timbre para obtener servicio.

Llame al timbre, por favor. or Por favor llame al timbre. (These are what you’d normally see in a Spanish hotel if the sign wasn’t multilingual; the “service” part is assumed - after all, guests over age 6 wouldn’t ring the bell for their amusement, would they?)

Bulgarian: биете звънеца, моля.

(Ha, I had to look up the word “to ring”. It literally reads “ring the bell, please”.)

There are parts of Latin America where this construction would be more common than mine (mine would be understood just fine), but it would be atendido (without the first i)
