Actually it's still called Vizier (or something close) in several languages.

But we're talking about that piece as the most powerful in the game, which happened in Europe, where it had been called a queen for hundreds of years.

Yes, the modern, more powerful piece is still called that even in some languages in Europe, like in Turkish and several Slavic languages, like Ukrainian and Russian. In Polish it's apparently called something akin of "top general".
