Has this part been localized anywhere else? In the german version this has been switched for a reference to the [murder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uwe_Barschel#Death) of a famous german politician that remains unsolved to this day and took place in 1987 (making this even more “too soon”).

The “O-ring” line has not been localized in Spanish nor in Italian. It has been just translated.

French and Russian are actually the only 1:1 translations according to Google Translate.  
Spanish and Italian add more context by talking about “Challenger O-rings”.

Here is the Russian version:  
**Willie** : Я разработал уплотнительное кольцо.  
**Reyes** : Слишком рано.  
**Ray** : Ага, слишком рано, прояви уважение.

Yes, confirmed: my co-worker said “rubber rings”, describing what an O-ring actually is. But with no references to the Challenger.

So the german version is the only one language that completly changed the content of the “too soon” line? Oh Boris, you can go your own way!

Especially relevant since now you can buy it as [mug from Fangamer](https://www.fangamer.com/products/thimbleweed-park-mug):

**Sandy** : Shut up, Dave!

Fun fact: This line is said at 11 different times. 6 times it’s with exclamation mark.

That may be used in Spain. In South America “o’ring” is used in everyday speech, untranslated.
