So if you are not situated in a non English speaking country please write here how Knight Rider is called in you country
of course can people who are English speaking also write in here if they know another name of Knight Rider
Thanks

I'm from China
I don't know whether the bbs system can show the real Chinese character here:)
in Chinese the name of Knight Rider is 霹雳游侠
I think the pronunciation in English maybe is [pi][li][sa]
of course it is not very exactly

I think there is a little defferent between Chinese and English
the general meaning of "霹雳游侠" is about a brave 、intelligence man

In Poland KR is 'Nieustraszony', which means 'unscared'.

In Finland it's "Ritari Ässä" which I believe is in english "Knight Ace".

It is not the same thing: They are different variants of the Spanish.
In Mexico it is different from Argentina, which also is different from Spain, but I can assure you that we understand each other well... It is like the difference of the English of the United Kingdom and to the English in The United States or in Australia...

in all English parts of the world, Knight Rider is called Knight Rider

It is not the same thing to speak with anybody about Orlando, FL, that with someone of London East, or with anybody about Hong Kong. They are different accents... Since the same thing happens with the Spanish... And the dubbings of the series are different in Latin America and Spain
