1896Translated by W. J. Gordon and significantly abridged to remove anti-US and anti-British passages. This translation begins: "When a journey begins badly it rarely ends well. At least that ought to have been the opinion of the four instrumentalists whose instruments lay on the ground, the carriage in which they were riding having suddenly upset against a mound by the side of the road."

1903Translated by W. J. Gordon. This translation begins: "When a journey begins badly it rarely ends well.

1961Translated by W. J. Gordon and significantly abridged to remove anti-US and anti-British passages. This version has been further abridged by I. O. Evans. This translation begins: "When a journey begins badly it rarely ends well. At least that ought to have been the opinion of the four instrumentalists whose instruments lay on the ground, the carriage in which they were riding having suddenly upset against a mound by the side of the road."
English Propeller Island
1962Translated by Ion Hobana. This translation begins: "O călătorie care începe rău se sfârșește rareori cu bine. Iată ce ar avea tot dreptul să susțină patru instrumentiști ale căror instrumente s-au împrăștiat care încotro. Trăsura în care fuseseră nevoiți să se urce la ultima stație de cale ferată s-a răsturnat deodată în șanț."

English The Floating Island: The Pearl of the Pacific
2015Translated by Marie-Thérèse Noiset. New complete translation restoring the anti-US and anti-British passages that were omitted in Gordon's 1896 translation. This translation begins: "When a trip begins badly, it rarely ends well. At least this is an opinion that the four musicians, whose instruments were lying on the ground, would surely have a right to maintain. Indeed, the carriage they had taken at the final station of the railroad had just tipped over onto the shoulder of the road."
