- Mar 17, 2019, 09:33:14 PMI'm primarily an english speaker so this is incredibly literal and may miss context/alternate uses but:
Alien - tangata ke
Predator - kairangi
I can confirm that the translation of alien here is the same as "foreigner" and has no specific connotation of space creatures.

The Predator: Plēsoņa: Atjaunots (our language doesn't have the article "the" so it translates into "Predator: Restored" instead)
In Ukranian and Russian The Predator translates the same as just Predator (or Predator 2018). We stil don't understand for what's sake there're articles
Try reading up on them online, it's fascinating how languages develop and convey information. And yup, I know that they did the same in the russian translation.

I would probably struggle to correctly pronounce any of those words.
If only I could tutor you! You'd be surprised.

Aliens: Svešie (same but plural)
Alien: Covenant: Svešais: Covenant (we didn't even want to f**king translate it)
Predator: Plēsoņa (direct translation)
The Predator: Plēsoņa: Atjaunots (our language doesn't have the article "the" so it translates into "Predator: Restored" instead)
AvP: Svešais pret Plēsoņu ("Stranger against Predator")
AvPR: Svešais pret Plēsoņu 2 (we're starting to show a pattern here lmao)
