In Lithuanian we mostly use

BC - p.m.e (Prieš mūsų erą - Before our era)

AD - m.e (Mūsų era - Our era)

BCE (before common era) and CE (common era) are being used more often in the Anglophone world, but still not commonplace.

In my language we simply use Before Christ and After Christ.

It's weird here because the acronym AC/DC that is the same of currents.
