Q1. For American and Modern British English, the answer is:

1000000000000000035000061: one sePtillion thiRty-fIve Million sixty-onE

In the "Traditional British" and "Traditional European" numbering, the
first number containing a P is also sePtillion but sePtillion is
defined as 10^42 in these systems. The rest of the letters can be found in a similar way.

The smallest prime is 10^42 + 35000007: one sePtillion thiRty fIve
Million sEven.

Q2. Assuming you don't want to translate PRIME into another language,
for Indonesian, the answer is much smaller (perhaps the smallest?): 859 = delaPan-Ratus LIMa-puluh sEmbilan (eight hundred fifty-nine)

(What if we want to translate "Prime" to Indonesian?. Frederick responded: The original word for prime is "ganjil" but there's
no numbers in Indonesian that contain the letter g, so...)

Q1. Is it "one sePtillion thiRty-fIve Million sixty-onE?"

I am pretty sure that the P does not appear in anything below one
septillion, that the M can come from nothing smaller than a million,
and that thirty five is the smallest number to contain R and I in that
order. This shows a lower bound of one septillion and thirty five
million. The next prime above 10^24+35*10^6 is 10^24+35*10^6+61.

If you speak British, then a septillion is 10^42, so the answer is
10^42+35*10^6+7.

Q2. I found in Spanish "Prime" or "Primo" in the same smallest prime number: 10^42+30*10^3+21 = Septillón Treintamil Veintiuno

About Q2 , in French : "PRIME"="PREMIER" , I found the following
result:  704003=sept cent quatre mille trois. I think that this prime number is the smallest in French.

Just for amusement I tried some other embedded names of numbers.
The smallest I could come up with were:

COMPOSITE
10^117 + 10^60 + 10^24 +16
= one oCtOtrigintillion one noveMdecillion one sePtilliOn SIxTEen

SQUARE
6*10^15 + 11*10^6 + 750*10^3 + 889

NATURAL

How about TRIANGLAR, FACTORIAL, FIBONACCI, EMIRP etc?

About the Nick's contribution my comment is this:

Find the smallest X-number such that when written in L-language the word X appears in order. X= Square, Triangular, Fibonacci, etc. (See Puzzle 459)

Hi,
I would like to suppose my solutions of the puzzles 457 and 459 for Russian language.
In Russian there are no letters U (У) and F (Ф) in name of numbers so Natural, Fibonacci, Triangular and Factorial are impossible. The term 'OTHER' is not used.
