This FAQL (Frequently-Asked Questions Listing) draws together interesting bits from various translations of "Star Trek" into non- English languages. I have compiled it from E-mail submissions, posted information on rec.arts.startrek.*, and my own collection of "Star Trek" media. Sources are credited after each entry. Additions and corrections are *ALWAYS* welcome! Send E-mail to rfd@po.cwru.edu. ====================================================================== 2. Opening voiceover. Next to the misquote "Beam me up, Scotty!", this is the signature of the "Star Trek" universe... Pronunciation note: Both Shatner and Stewart say "civil-eye-zashuns", while Nimoy says "civil-uh-zashuns". 2a. TOS-English. Voiced by William Shatner. Space...the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship "Enterprise". Its five-year mission: To explore strange, new worlds. To seek out new life, and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before. 2b. ST2:TWOK. Voiced by Leonard Nimoy before the *closing* credits. Space...the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship "Enterprise". Her ongoing mission: To explore strange, new worlds. To seek out new life forms, and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before. 2c. TNG. Voiced by Patrick Stewart. Space...the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship "Enterprise". Its continuing mission: To explore strange, new worlds. To seek out new life, and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before. 2d. TOS-German (TV). TOS is called "Raumschiff Enterprise" (Starship Enterprise). The opening is not a literal translation from English. Unidentified voiceover (spoken by holger hagen): Der Weltraum -- unendliche Weiten. Wir schreiben das Jahr 2200. Dies sind die Abenteuer des Raumschiffs Enterprise, das mit seiner 200 Mann starken Besatzung fuenf Jahre lang unterwegs ist, um neue Welten zu erforschen, neues Leben und neue Zivilisation. Viele Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt, dringt die Enterprise dabei in Galaxien vor, die nie ein Mensch zuvor gesehen hat. [Space -- infinite vastness. This is the year 2200. These are the adventures of the Starship Enterprise. With its crew of 200 men, it is underway for five years, to explore new worlds, new life, and new civilisations. Many lightyears away from Earth, the starship Enterprise penetrates into galaxies that no human has seen before.] [From: bjelli@cosy.sbg.ac.at (Brigitte Jellinek)] 2e. TOS-German (cards). This is taken from the TNG Inaugural Trading Card Set. It is a literal translation from English. Note that "Starship" is not a German word; the correct word is "Raumschiff". Das All, die endgultige Grenze. Dies sind die Reisen vom Starship "Enterprise". Sein stetiger Auftrag ist fremde, neue Weiten zu erforschen, nach neuem Leben und neuen Zivilisationen zu suchen und es zu wagen dorthin zu gehen, wo noch kein Mensch zuvor gewesen ist. [From: tomcat@cwis.unomaha.edu (Jeffrey S. Jo)] 2f. TNG-German. TNG is called "Raumschiff Enterprise: Der Naechste Jahrhundert" (Starship Enterprise: The Next Century). Unidentified voiceover (spoken by harald dietel): Der Weltraum - unendliche Weiten. Wir befinden uns in einer fernen Zukunft. Dies sind die Abenteuer des neuen Raumschiffs Enterprise, das viele Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt unterwegs ist, um fremde Welten zu entdecken, unbekannte Lebensformen und neue Zivilisationen. Die Enterprise dringt dabei in Galaxien vor, die nie ein Mensch zuvor gesehen hat. [Space -- infinite vastness. This is a distant future . These are the adventures of the new starship Enterprise. Many lightyears away from Earth it is on its way to explore new worlds, unknown life-forms, and new civilisations. The starship Enterprise penetrates into galaxies that no human has seen before.] [From: bjelli@cosy.sbg.ac.at (Brigitte Jellinek)] 2g. TNG-Italian. Spazio, l'ultima frontiera, questi sono i viaggi dell'astronave Enterprise, nells sua continua missione per esplorare nuovi mondi, per incontrare nuove forme di vita a nuove civilizzazioni, per andare dove nessuno e' mai stato prima d'ora. [From: adamsf@gw.wmich.edu (Fran Adams)] 2h. TNG-Finnish. Avaruus, tuo kaeymaettoemistae korpimaista viho viimeinen Taessae kerrotaan taehtilaiva Enterprisen retkistae Sen jatkuvasta tehtaevaestae tutkia outoja maailmoja Etsiae uusia elioemuotoja ja kulttuureja Rohkeasti mennae sinne minne ihminen ei ole ennen mennyt [From: jyrtsi@vipunen.hut.fi (Jyri-Pekka J{rvinen)] 2i.

Eets oon-i-gooen mishun -- to exploore strangee noo woorlds, To seekee oot noo lifee, und noo civiloozashuns, To booldly goo whar noo won has i-gon befyor! [From: rfd@po.CWRU.edu (Richard F.
