How words "Alien" and "Predator" are translated in your language?
I think it's pretty interesting question because i guess here on AVPGalaxy a lot of members from non-English-speech countries.
So, let me start:

In Ukranian they're written as "Чужий" and "Хижак" and pronounced as "Chuzhyy" and "Khyzhak" respectively;

In Russian they're written as "Чужой" and "Хищник"  and pronounced as "Chuzhoy" and "Khishchnik" respectively

It's funny because words "Chuzhyy" and "Chuzhoy" not very corect translation: they have more "stranger" and not "E.T." in their meaning but among Ukranian-speech and Russian-speech fans it's already common and established.

P.S. Please, do not delete this topic just because i used foreign words in it. I know the laws  :)

Chuzhhy sounds close to "chooza" - slang for breast.  ;D

On Portuguese alien can be translated to alienígena, but also just alien for short.

Predator is simply written Predador.

Do Brazilians ever get mistaken for Spanish-speakers?

Often. And that's a microaggression.

I bet it gets annoying.

鐵血戰士 or 終極戰士 for Predator

Can we count that as another UPP language?

With Predator, most english alphabetic countries I came across still used the word "Predator", with a few close exceptions like "DePredator" and "ilPredator".

By the way, "Queen" is written as 'Королева' in both languages and pronounced as "Koroleva"
