   Arabic would be:
   آفي هالتوفسكي
   Literally: aafii haaltuufskii

   There is no ‘v’ in the Arabic script so ‘f’ is used. Although there is a modified form of ‘f’ that is sometimes used.
   All the short vowels would be transcribed as long vowels to make the name clear to prononuce, thus aafii not afi. Although Arabic script technically does not have an ‘o’ sound (so would be long ‘uu’), your name could still be pronounced in a similar way by most people.

   In hebrew Avi אבי means ‘my father’. In Arabic the equivalent would be abii أبي

   In german your surname would be "Avi".
   Your last name would be "Haltovsky"

   We also use the roman alphabet.

   Names can´t be really translated if writing system is same(well almost same..german also has äöüß and none would fit in your name)

   You can ask how it would be written in old german writing style

   Korean:

   아비 할톱스기

   since there is no V nor silent S in Korean, it would be pronounced : Abi Haltobsuki or Hartobsuki)

   The Hindi alphabet is phonetic like English, but the sounds don’t correspond 100% to English. The language is written in the Devanagari script, which would look like …

   आवी हलतोवस्की
