Would this be the correct way to say this sentence in Japanese? When I'm speaking in Japanese, I would like to ask this sentence when asking for an English word to be translated: 。。。をにほんごでどのようにいいますか (How do you say... in Japanese)。Would this sentence be correct （English word added in since I'm asking for the translation in the question?）:　Whyをにほんごでどのようにいいますか (How do you say why in Japanese?)。Would this be the correct way to ask the question, or is it incorrect?

Totally fine. The sentence has no subject but is apparently abbreviated as one of the features of Japanese language: (あなたは) whyをにほんごで… If you want to make it sound more natural, you can replace を after 'why' with 'は': Whyはにほんごで… In this way, 'why' turns into the sentence subject form the object, and comes off more natural.
