    Trying “jiho” with Albanian, however, translates to English “yes.”

    Well, duh. Albanian is not a Slavic language.

    As for the rest of it south is jih in Czech, juh in Slovak and jug in most of southern slavic languages. O is added in compound words just to make better pronounceable as in Czech jihozápad or Serbian(Croatian,Bosnian…) jugozapad - southwest. The fact that google is trying to translate jiho- even from other languages then Czech might be some quirk of their engine, I don’t think it’s actually a word in those languages.
