Hello my friend. There really is no difference between them. You could say either one.
The only difference might be regarding a word or phrase that is pronounced differently by some people due to regional dialect or something like that. Then I might ask a person "How would you say that?" With the emphasis on YOU. That person might say the word differently than I would but either would be correct. But I'd be asking him/her how they'd say it.

Both words are used similarly, and are often interchangeable.

If you want to get technical, "would" may have a more hypothetical feeling to it than using "do" in a question.

example:

- How would you say thank you?

(could be asking the person's opinion on what they would hypothetically do to show thanks, or how they personally say it. However, it can also be interpreted by the listener as "do" - see next sentence...)

- How do you say thank you?

(this generally takes away the "hypothetical" and is more direct, so it could more often mean: 'how do you say the words', or if speaking of a different language, 'how does it translate').

-How would you know that?
-How do you know that?

(See how the 2nd question comes across as directly asking the person how they received such knowledge, whereas the 1st question could be said with sarcasm or disbelief, almost making it seem you are questioning whether the person has the knowledge - as if hypothetical)

I hope I didn't confuse you or make it seem complicated. Honestly, most of the time it may simply depend on the context of the conversation (or written material) as to what the meaning is.
