FRENCH

Notes:

• Sayid, Sawyer, Kate, Charlie, Boone and Shannon all heard the French transmission while on the transceiver expedition in Pilot 2.
  
• Shannon translated as much of the transmission as she was able when the lostaways heard it on the transceiver. See below.
  
• Using the iteration count, Sayid calculated the message had been playing for 16 years and 5 months.
  
• The transceiver group decided to keep the transmission a secret.
  
• Sayid tried to find the signal by triangulation with the help of Kate, Sawyer, Boone and Shannon.
  
• Sayid was hit over the head before he could find the source of the transmission and later found out the culprit was Locke.
  
• Two translations from fans are provided below for comparison.
  Shannon's translation on the island:

Quote:

"It's - it's repeating... She's saying ... 'Please ...' she's saying, 'Please help me. Please come get me...I'm alone now.'" "Ummm ... 'On the island alone. Please, someone, come. The others -- they're ... they're dead. It killed them. It killed them all.'" - ABC Lost, Pilot 2, written by J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelhof


The translation below was originally posted by LBD the Lost Message FAQ Board, which is now out of service.

Quote:

If someone can hear this, they are dead. Please help us. I'll try to go to the black rock. He killed them. He killed them all. Iteration 7294531 He is outside, please help us, please help us. He is outside (...) help us. They are dead. Iteration 17294532 He is outside, he is outside and Brandon took the keys. Please help us. They are dead, they are all dead. Help us. They are dead. Iteration 17294533 They are all dead. Help us. They are dead (...) Iteration 17294534 He is outside, please help us, please help us. Iteration 17294535 If someone can hear this, I'll try to go to the black rock. Please help us. They are all dead. They are dead. He killed them. He killed them all. I'll try to go to the black rock."

KOREAN

Setup: Sitting around the fire the first night.

JIN (to Sun) : Don't leave my sight, follow me, understand? Don't worry about the others, we have to stay together.

Setup: Later, Jin and Sun shelter in the plane wreckage during the rain

JIN (to Man) : No, no, no, there is no room for you. Go somewhere else.

Setup: Later, Michael approaches Jin and Sun asking if they have seen Walt:

SUN (to Michael) : Sorry, I can't speak English. Sorry, I can't speak English.

JIN (to Sun) : Button your shirt, hurry!

Setup: Later, Sun approaches while Kate bathes in the ocean to tell Kate the transceiver group is ready:

SUN (to Kate) : Excuse me, it's ready. They are looking for you.

Setup: Later, Jin offers sun gae (sea urchin) to Hurley on the beach:

JIN (to Hurley) : This is tasty food, try some. It's sun gae. If you eat it, it will give you strength. Please eat. I have enough for everyone.

Setup: Later, Jin offers sun gae to Claire on the beach:

JIN (to Claire) : This is sun gae, try some please. You have to eat for the baby, try at least one. This one, eat this one... How is that? Good? Eat one more.

(After she takes a bite of sun gae, Claire feels the baby kick for the first time since the crash. She jumps up excited, grabs Jin's hand and makes him touch her stomach. He is obviously startled and uncomfortable: )

JIN (to Claire) : Are you OK? No, no, no, don't do this. No, no, no. Please let my hand go!
