    I'm Lithuanian.
    In Lithuanian only DAD was named not like original name. Translation of it would be "Say hello to death another day".
    And, Skyfall's name still hasn't been revealed.
    So, the list:
    DN - Daktaras Ne
    FRWL -Iš Rusijos su meile
    GF - Auksapirštis
    TB - Kamuolinis žaibas
    YOLT - Gyvenk du kartus
    0HMSS - Jos Didenybės Slaptojoje Tarnyboje
    DAF - Deimantai amžiams
    LALD - Gyvenk ir leisk mirti
    TMWTGG - Žmogus su auksiniu pistoletu
    TSWLM - Šnipas, kuris mane mylėjo
    MR - „Moonraker“
    FYEO - Tik Tavo akims
    OP - Aštuonkojė
    AVTAK - Vaizdas į žmogžudystę
    TLD - Į dienos šviesą
    LTK - Leidimas žudyti
    GE - Auksinė Akis
    TND - Rytojus niekada nemiršta
    TWINE - Ir viso Pasaulio nagana
    DAD - Pasveikink mirtį kitą dieną
    CR - Kazino „Royale“
    QOS - Paguodos kvantas
    SF -?

    So, let's post Bond film's names in your languages :)

    This is a good idea! I'd like to read more. My native language is English, though; I will try to find out what the Japanese translations are (they are usually different - sometimes way different - than the English title).

    Okey dokey, then. I just Yahoo'd it (not google) and found the klast.net website. Here is the link: http://www.klast.net/bond/translat.html It has many Bond movie titles in languages and many translated into English! For example, the Living Daylights in Japanese is translated as "Death Has the Scent of Roses". Interesting, eh? ;) Gotta love it.

    I'd say Deathgallop could be AVTAK, In Deadly Terror TLD and The Lonesome Agent LTK?

    Correct. :) Deathgallop was easy, The Lonesome Agent wasn't that difficult either but how did you know In Deadly Terror was TLD?

    Well, the title The Living Daylights is hard to translate and keep the same meaning. I thought it has to be the one that can't be translated. Over here they called it With The Finger On The Trigger, which is also irrelevant to the original title.
    Plus, if Deathgallop is AVTAK and The Lonesome Agent is LTK, and supposing you listed the Hungarian titles in chronological order, it could only be TLD. :P

    Yeah, using "Ur dödlig synvinkel" ("From a deadly point of view", sort of) for FYEO messed things up a bit when AVTAK came, forcing it to become Levande Måltavla/Living Target.
