Lost translations

Where can I find translations of the things that aren't said in english and that aren't translated on the TV show Lost?
I thought there would be repository for these things, but it's not on any lost Wiki and google is returning nothing. I'd appreciate it if someone could give me a push in the right direction!

Best answer: Most of the untranslated passages eventually appear on the individual episode pages of Lostpedia. For example, Russian in the "foreign dialogues" section for Enter 77 or Korean in the plot summary of This Place Is Death.
If you're wondering, as I imagine you are, about the most recent episodes, I would guess that someone will probably come along and translate them soon.

Best answer: If you have any specific questions about Latin or Greek quotes, please feel free to MeMail me and I'll ask my resident classicist and fellow Lost fan.

Best answer: If you're referring specifically to last night's episode and the words that Lennon said don't have an exact English translation, there's some discussion of them on the Lostpedia "Theories" page for the episode in this section. (Major spoilers for those who haven't seen the episode, naturally.)

Response by poster: Ahh, I feel stupid, I didn't see the transcript link in on the wikia pages. Thanks all!

You totally should have titled this post "Lost In Translation".

You have no idea how many times I got a result listing that movie when googling for "lost translations." I wanted to make sure it was clear that this wasn't about that movie!

Here's one from last week--it's got some in a foreign language from [XYZ character, if you haven't seen it yet]. I haven't seen last night's so I didn't check that.
