Keys and instruments in foreign languages

Where's a good description of what that means exactly?  I'm guessing that's a fixed solfege system?  

And I know German has the h and B is really Bb.  I think.

This is why you google things before you post them on the internet right when you think of them.

It also keeps the info here.  If I want it again, I know it's here.  And it might be useful for someone else too.
