International Buffy

[Pandora's_Box]

This is a little game I came up with...
I'm french, and in France, they didn't just translate Buffy's episodes's titles, 80% of the time they created new ones, so the game is (here it only concerns unamericans members) to take a french, spanish, japonese title and translate him in english and (here it concerns evreyone) trying to guess of which episode it corresponds...I hope i'm clear...I'm gonna give an example: in France, "Sleeper" was called "Ca a commencé" which means "It began", so I would have give you "It began" and you would have to find it's the "Sleeper" episode. I think it's a funny way to embrace all the cultures on the Buffy Forum and maybe learn some words...

Okay I'll start

"Tous contre Buffy": "Everyone against Buffy"...

[spidol]

Life Serial ( I originally thought 'empty places but according o a reliable source (my French mate nick) I am wrong)

'Lad det komme fra hjertet' in danish meaning 'Let it come from the heart'

[LRae12]

Wild at Heart?

I have no idea if I'm right or not, so somebody else can post the next title, because my foreign languages consist of Oui and monsieur...:lol:

[spidol]

well in that case I will answer with an easy 'non'

[Pandora's_Box]

Good answer it is Life Serial...
For the danish title I have a good feeling for Passion..

[spidol]

nein... think more of what comes from the heart - emotions which can also be known as something else beginning with the letter 'F'

[Pandora's_Box]

Oh of course: Once More with Feeling

[spidol]

Ja! your go.

[Pandora's_Box]

"La nouvelle petite soeur": "The new little sister"

[redrevo]

Real Me.

"Die Nacht der lebenden Leichen" is German for "The night of the living corpses"

[Pandora's_Box]

I guess Dead Man's Party but Real me isn't the good answer (kind of a trap, the episode is pre-Dawn, it could be simpler to wait the confirmation before posting a new title:p )

[spidol]

If It's pre-dawn the only person I can think of that may be little sisterlike is faith and therefore I'll go with Faith hope and trick

Edit: It could also be Kendra from What's My Line - Part One.

[redrevo]

Oh boy, pre-Dawn? I'm going with Hush, just for wackiness and because there's that dream with the little girl...

[Pandora's_Box]

And we have a winner...It is Faith, Hope and Trick...So redrevo, about your title, is that Dead Man's Party ?

[redrevo]

No, it isn't but I think it's spidol's turn anyway so I'm just going to wait for him to post if you don't mind.

[spidol]

kay then... 'Was ware, wenn...' in german, meaning 'what if'

[Pandora's_Box]

I'm thinking of Normal Again

[redrevo]

My guess: The Wish

[spidol]

well done you, that's correct

[Pandora's_Box]

So redrevo, you can re-post your title...

[redrevo]

"Die Nacht der lebenden Leichen" is German for "The night of the living corpses"

It isn't Dead Man's Party...

[Pandora's_Box]

Well I guess the Zeppo maybe ?

[redrevo]

Yup, it's The Zeppo. Your turn.

[Pandora's_Box]

"Crises d'identité" "Identity Crisis"

[redrevo]

Doppelgangland comes to mind...

[Pandora's_Box]

smart but no...after...

[redrevo]

Darn. Um, (hopefully - I've been avoiding the obvious because it seemed too, well, obvious) either Weight of the World or Selfless...

[Pandora's_Box]

Bingo, it's Selfless!!!
Your turn

[redrevo]

German: "Schein und Sein" - figurative translation "appearance and reality"

[Sassy]

Doppelgangland?

[Pandora's_Box]

Normal again ?

[redrevo]

Nope, neither.

[Pandora's_Box]

Gone or Out of mind out of sight maybe ?

[redrevo]

Still no, I thought this one would be hard, it wasn't exactly a great name for the episode...

[Sassy]

Amends?*had to add more*

[redrevo]

Nope. (character limit)

[tangent]

dead things, perhaps?

[Sassy]

Maybe Storyteller?

[redrevo]

Good guesses, but no.

[Pandora's_Box]

Maybe Nightmares or Restless ?

[redrevo]

No, neither.

[Pandora's_Box]

It's living conditions...?
Oh, you have to give us a hint...like the season for example...

[redrevo]

Nope, Season 4 though.

[Pandora's_Box]

Something blue ?
Superstar ?

[Pandora's_Box]

Oh I think I get it...Fear itself ?

[redrevo]

Nope. None of them. It really is a bad title...

[tangent]

Who are you?

[Pandora's_Box]

Where the wild things are ?

[redrevo]

Neither. It's in the second half of the season though.

[Pandora's_Box]

A New Man ?
Goodbye Iowa ?

[Pandora's_Box]

or maybe The Yoko Factor...

[redrevo]

None of these...

[Veverka]

I know, I know... but can't remember exactly. It's "Goodbye Iowa"?

[Pandora's_Box]

So it as to be:
The I in team
or This year's girl
or New moon rising
or Primeval...

[redrevo]

It is one of the ones Pandora's Box said.

[Pandora's_Box]

The I in team ?

[redrevo]

Ding ding ding! Yes. Your turn. :)

[Pandora's_Box]

lol, that really was the worst title ever...

"Baiser Mortel" "Deadly Kiss"

[Sassy]

Inca Mummy Girl?

[Pandora's_Box]

To obvious maybe...:D
Guess again

[Sassy]

Umm I Only Have Eyes For You?

[Pandora's_Box]

Nope...guess

[redrevo]

The Killer In Me.

[Veverka]

Angel? ummm?

[Pandora's_Box]

Nope and nope

[redrevo]

Surprise...? Or Teacher's Pet?

[Veverka]

Never Kill a Boy on the first date?

[Pandora's_Box]

Nope, nope nope...

Hint: It's from one of the three last seasons...

[redrevo]

Entropy or Seeing Red?

[Pandora's_Box]

nope and nope

[redrevo]

I'm thinking Him...

[Pandora's_Box]

Nope...think vampire...

[redrevo]

All the Way?

[Sassy]

Sleeper?(I think thats the name)

[Pandora's_Box]

Ding Ding, we have a winner, it's all the way....your turn

[redrevo]

"Der Preis der Freiheit" is German for "The Price of Freedom"

[Pandora's_Box]

Maybe "the gift"

[redrevo]

Wow. Bonus points for first guess...your turn.

[Pandora's_Box]

Wow...I surprised myself on this one

"Les liens du sang" "Blood Ties"

[Sassy]

Blood Ties(seems too easy, so I'm probably wrong)

[Pandora's_Box]

YOU'RE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!...too easy, guess again

[Sassy]

How about Graduation Day Part 2?

[Pandora's_Box]

Cause of the bangel thing...very smart but no

[Sassy]

Umm Fool For Love?

[redrevo]

Graduation Day 1? Or Becoming 2?

[Pandora's_Box]

that's a nope nope nope

[Veverka]

conversations with dead people? it's left field I know!

[Sassy]

The Killer In Me?

[Pandora's_Box]

Think to something more obvious "Blood Ties"....it's a common reference to what ?

[redrevo]

Family...?

[Pandora's_Box]

Bingo...They (French) called that one "Blood Ties" so when the episode actually called "Blood Ties" came along...wow big problem, so they called it "La clé" The Key"

Ok Redrevo, your turn

[redrevo]

"Das Angebot" is German for "The Offer"

[Pandora's_Box]

Reptile boy....

[redrevo]

Nope. (character limit)

[tangent]

the gift?...

[Pandora's_Box]

Band Candy ?

[redrevo]

No, neither.

[Pandora's_Box]

God I have no inspiration at all with this one...Halloween

[redrevo]

Nope.

Hint: Buffy rejected the "offer" referred to in the title.

[Sassy]

Get It Done?

[Pandora's_Box]

Oh yes...I think you got it...

[redrevo]

Yeah, Sassy got it.

[Sassy]

Well I'm american so someone else can go.

[Pandora's_Box]

Thanks Sassy

"La Cérémonie" "The Ceremony"

[Sassy]

Hell's Bells?

[Pandora's_Box]

guess again

[redrevo]

Forever...?

[Pandora's_Box]

guess again

[Sassy]

Graduation Day Part 2?

[Pandora's_Box]

Bingo...actually it "La cérémonie Part I" and "La cérémonie part II"

So I guess you're still american...right ?

So I'll go with another title

"Le bal de fin d'année" not a litteral translation because...tough, so I guess the nearest translation have to be "The Prom"

[redrevo]

"The dance of the end of the year"?

Ok...
Ignoring the obvious, I'm thinking Prophecy Girl.

[Veverka]

Homecoming?

[Pandora's_Box]

Oh, you speaks french redrevo ?
When I said tough it was because "fin d'année" means literaly "end of the year" you're right but in that particular expression "fin d'année" means in fact "fin de l'année scolaire"....
It is Homecoming.....So what the fu** is going on, why does this episode is called "the dance of the end of school year", it a mistake french translators did, becaus in France we don't have a Prom, actually we don't have Homecoming as well, or football team, or cheerleaders, or chess club, or Graduation Day or School paper or May Queen....well. When they saw the king and queen and the coronation, they probably thought it was the Prom so they call it "The Dance of the end of school year" except this is the fifth episode of the season so probably November...well huge mistake so "The Prom" was called "Evil Dogs"...

[Pandora's_Box]

Are you american Veverka, if you're not, it's your turn to give a title...

[Veverka]

ooh... I'm aussie... but have some german box sets... not with me so i can't guarentee this is correct "Ohne Buffy Lebt's sich Laenger". Translation: without Buffy one lives longer...
*so happy i got one!!!

[Pandora's_Box]

When she was bad ?

[Pandora's_Box]

Or maybe Empty Places...

[Sassy]

Bargining?

[Veverka]

Nope, keep trying!

[Sassy]

Normal Again?

[Veverka]

oh, that's a good guess... but no! If no-one has it by tomorrow I'll give you some clues...!

[Sassy]

The Wish?

Because, you know the master is still alive.

[Veverka]

Also a good guess... think like... Without Buffy One Lives Longer... it's very impersonal, like its not about our close friends...

[Pandora's_Box]

Oh, is it "Never Kill A Boy On The First Date" ?

[Veverka]

hehe... oh yeah! nice one! Your turn!

[Pandora's_Box]

Jalousies "Jealousies"

[Sassy]

The Yoko Factor?

[redrevo]

Lovers' Walk?

[Pandora's_Box]

double nope

[redrevo]

Triangle...?

[Pandora's_Box]

still nope

[redrevo]

New Moon Rising?

[Pandora's_Box]

guess again

hint: It's jealousy between somebody and Buffy

[Pandora's_Box]

The game looks kinda dead....I'm gonna try to bring it to life

In case, here's the rules:
This is a little game I came up with...
I'm french, and in France, they didn't just translate Buffy's episodes's titles, 80% of the time they created new ones, so the game is (here it only concerns unamericans members) to take a french, spanish, japonese title and translate him in english and (here it concerns evreyone) trying to guess of which episode it corresponds...I hope i'm clear...I'm gonna give an example: in France, "Sleeper" was called "Ca a commencé" which means "It began", so I would have give you "It began" and you would have to find it's the "Sleeper" episode. I think it's a funny way to embrace all the cultures on the Buffy Forum and maybe learn some words...


Attaque à Sunnydale "Attack at Sunnydale"
(by the way, the answer for the last one was Real Me)

[redrevo]

School Hard?

[Pandora's_Box]

Wow, impressive!!!!
Your turn...

[redrevo]

"Gefaehrliche Spiele" is German for "Dangerous Games"

[Pandora's_Box]

[redrevo]

Right again!

[Pandora's_Box]

We're becoming pretty good at that game...

"Dévotion"_"Devotion"

[redrevo]

Lovers' Walk?

[Pandora's_Box]

nope.........

[redrevo]

I Was Made To Love You?

[Pandora's_Box]

still nope

[redrevo]

I Only Have Eyes for You?

or Wild at Heart?

[Pandora's_Box]

nope and nope it's an episode from early Buffy (season 1 to 3)

[redrevo]

Passion...?

[Veverka]

Lie to Me?

[Pandora's_Box]

nope and nope, but it's the good season, it's pretty logic, no trap here...

[redrevo]

OK. Season 2.

...Surprise, because of the ring?

or Innocence?

[EndersWrath]

'Enemies'?

[Pandora's_Box]

no, no and no (enemies is from season 3), it's a minor episode but the title fits the subject of it...

[redrevo]

Bewitched Bothered & Bewildered?

[Pandora's_Box]

Well I realise now that this title can fit with a lot of episodes...
Hint: It's devotion to a demon...

[scarybunny]

I, Robot, you, Jane?

um

Reptile Boy?

[Pandora's_Box]

It is reptile boy...congrats.
If you're unamerican, you can propose a title..
If you're american redrevo who fought well will propose one
