Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

Quendi (Elvish): Oldfield comes out as: "Yáraresta" (ancient sown field). As for Michael, it is derived from the name of an archangel. In the Tolkien world, the closest equivalent is probably the name Manwë, who was the greatest of the angelic beings known as Valar (aside from his foe, the evil fallen one). The total result is Manwë Yáraresta. "Tubular Bells" is perhaps "Veroota Nelli" (Like-Tube Bells). "Incantations" is perhaps "Templalindale" (magical songs). "Amarok" = Naagond (Am a stone). For those who are not "As lanne lhaw Tiuka" (cloth-eared nincompoop! ).

Now for Klingon: Oldfield comes out as " 'Ngo yotlh". Kortar, the first Klingon,"....destroyed the gods who created them and turned the heavens into ashes", which might make him roughly equivalent to a combination of both Adam and the archangel Michael (who led victorious war in Heaven). The total result is Kortar Ngo yotlh (the complexities of Klingon grammar and capitalization rules not withstanding)

The most popular song in this culture is likely "yol" (Conflict). The name for "Tubular Bells" likely contains Chetvi' (torpedo tube), considering their martial nature.

Finally, Pakuni. A simple langauge without a huge vocabulary, and without the letter "L". It would appear that Mike's name would be pronounced as "Mikara Orodofirada", based on past Pakuni pronciations of other names outside of their own language ("Will" becomes "Wira", "Sleestak" becomes "Sarisataka", etc). Play those "Tubura Berresa" !

NOVEL TOPIC I DO BELIEVE WE STILL HAVE MANY TRANSLATIONS STILL TO BE ACHIEVED

I will list what members & guests have supplied so far:-

01- Slovak it's Staré pole.
02- Dutch: Oudveld.
03- Spanish: Miguel Campoviejo.
04- Catalan: Miquel Campvell.
05- French Michel Vieuxchamp.
06- German version: Michael Altfeld.
07- Italian: Michele Vecchiocampo.
08- Portuguese: Miguel Campovelho.
09- Polish Michal Staropolski or Michal Stare Pole.
10- Malay - Mike Purbalapangan.
11- En gallego (in galician) Migueliño Leiravella.
12- Czech it is Staré pole (old field).
13- In valencià Miquel Camp Vell.
14- Japanese (transliteration, of course): Maiku . Oru_dofiru_do.
15- Japanese Oldfield would be furuda (which is actually a real name in Japan).
16- sh: Mikael Gammelfält.
17- Rumanian mihai camp vechi.
18- Russian, something like Michail Rajmondovitch Staropole.
19- Hungarian he is 'Öregmezõ Misi'.
20- Danish Michael (MIKE) Gammelfelt.
21- Serbian: a very free translation, would be "Staropoljac".
22- Swedish: "gamlefält" or "gammalfält"..Gammal (gamle) = old
Fält = field.
23- michael- as some of you may know is a byblical name-meaning its hebrew. micha - means - Im not sure But I suspect "with you" el - means god. Oldfield in hebrew is "Sa de" "Ya shan" Michael Sa de Ya shan.
24- Spanish: Miguel Campoviejo. (DOUBLE UP! I KNOW)...
25- Basque: Mikel Lurzahar.
26- Estonian: Mihkel Vanapõld (vana - old; põld - field).
27- Gaelic: Michael Air achadh.
28- Turkish meaning is "Eskisaha" so we can say Ali Sami Yen.
29- Esperanto: Mike Malnovakampo aù Mike Mlanovaagro.
30- (SEE HIAWATHA POST FOR VARIOUS INTERPRETATIONS).
31- In Irish, (Like Ommadawn, the Irish language's claim to fame), Mike Oldfield would be Micheál Seanpháirc.
32- Greek according to my Greek friends in the latin alphabet it would be Mihalis or Michalis for Michael & Palio for Old plus chorafi for field but the two words joined as in Oldfield as a name would be written Paliochoraf...

Please note I left out some translations that appeared to be humorous or highly questionable but added ones that seemed to be of a semi serious fashion. This post is purely to allow future posters to see at a one stop glance what has been so far covered or needs in their minds rectification (correction).

Please also note there does appear to be a long way to go as many translations are still not covered.
I WONDER HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO COMPLETE THE LIST?.

It depends on what is considered a language. Klingon, Sindarin, Simlish, Lapine and Loxian are all considered languages by the respective inventors and by the fan communities connected to those inventors, but are certainly not widespread on very large areas outside of those communities. Thanks to Hiawatha above here we've got the Klingon translation, and we have also got one in an Elvish language. (Hiawatha, can you do it in Sindarin, please?) There's certainly a chance that someone here will come up with a Simlish translation, a Lapine translation and a Loxian translation of Mike Oldfield's name, but I have a feeling that it's going to be hard.
