+ | '''Q: Why is the abbreviation “resp.” used in translations, when it has no meaning to native speakers and doesn't derive from English. And what does it mean? | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: It throws new readers off, but after a dozen encounters the probable meaning becomes reasonably clear. The writer is explaining something and reinforcing that explanation. It could mean; that is; i.e.; or; rather; also; and; also known as; more precisely; more precisely known as; with respect to; in respect of, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The term “resp.” is an "English" abbreviation which is not English, so does not appear in dictionaries. It seems to be quite often used by native German speakers when writing in English, when they want to use respectively as a conjunction and not as an adverb. In German, instead of bzw., a writer can also use respektive as a conjunction; this explains the mistake. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Initially appearing to be a common mistake, however “resp.” is used in Billy Meier’s original German source text, so translators have probably been muddled as to how to present it, and translators have therefore tended to opt to retain it and incorporate it into the English translation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Apparently the abbreviation viz. for videlicet, should be used if the writer intends it to mean "namely", but it may sometimes mean that too. As we know in English the rule for using the word “respectively” is that it means "in the order given" or “in the order described” etc. In other words if you list, or mention two or more things, you are then able to end the sentence with "respectively", as a means of encouraging the reader / person to maintain the proportions and sequencing given by you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | With translations, and that is just how it is with the available translations of Billy Meier works. Occasionally "respectively" is placed before the end or even mid list. It may be used as an instruction like for example “you need a spanner resp. a tool, in the tool box” where it's being used to imply; go and get it, do it now at that location. It might also be being used when it has nothing to do with an ordered listing. I mean you wouldn't say “I have a cat and a dog respectively” would you. You might say something like “I like my cat, dog, rabbit, hamster respectively” perhaps. “It’s a feline i.e a cat”. “My cat behaves like other animals sometimes e.g like a rabbit and a dog, when I think about it that way”.</small></small> | ||

"We are only here in order to fulfil our mission and the prevention of the catastrophe and to prepare you for your difficult assignment as prophet. For further things, like help with evolution and so forth, other forms of life from your own universe are responsible, who will initially called themselves Pleiadians. Already for millennia, they supervise the Earth and keep those space-faring races in check who wish evil for you Earth humans and want to gain control over Earth humanity with the employment of religion and all the related deceptions, hallucinations, and trickery with which they buoy up the Earth humans with false promises."

Translations
Translation FAQ [Show/Hide]
The translation effort tends to be voluntary (few exceptions),[5] which unfortunately tends to often be forgotten, under-appreciated or is simply not known to new readers. It requires devotion and translation skill by individuals all over the world and developing the skills necessary to translate to a professional comprehensive standard takes time and dedication. Without this voluntary free of charge work effort, individuals in the English speaking world and Anglosphere,[6] as it is for the other languages, would have only poorly translated texts; we wish therefore to express our gratitude and appreciation to them, we are all very thankful to those few individuals who have put in that effort, thank you for all the work, time and effort.
