MemberOvomorphJan-17-2017 9:46 AMI just bought the novelization of the 4 Alien movies in a beautiful fancy-box. This is a hungarian edition of the books and released as a freshly translated print of them in 2015.

MemberXenomorphJan-17-2017 1:28 PMNice covers. How do the titles translate from Hungarian to English? I'm seeing the word 'halal' on each of them.

MemberOvomorphJan-17-2017 1:55 PMHalál means death in english. When the hungarian translators choose a title for a movie they reflect something from the plot or a significant feature. So the hungarian titles in english:
- ALIEN: 8th passenger is the death (because there are seven passengers on the Nostromo)
- Aliens: The name of the planet is death (because there are many aliens on LV-426 this time and there were a kaboom in the end :-D)
- Alien 3: Final solution is death (because Ripley choose death in the end)
- Alien: Resurrection: The death resurrect (because they resurrect the aliens)
So the 'halál' is indicative of the alien in the titles.
But there are exceptions. For example, Prometheus is Prometheus here too.
