Did you know?
- While 'ranger' is an English verb, it looks like the French word ranger, which means 'to tidy up' or 'to put away'. This can lead to humorous phonetic coincidences in classrooms.
- While Power Rangers remains in English, French dubbing often translates the characters' specific colors, such as calling the Red Ranger le Ranger rouge.
- If you are in Quebec, the term 'Rangers' remains untouched, but in very formal French media regulations, there is often a push to find French alternatives for English brand names, though this has not stuck for this specific franchise.
