About this topic, I recently asked Okrand for canon translations of Star Trek movie titles. He answered that those movie titles are not part of the Star Trek universe itself, so he could not ask Maltz for a translation.
Ah, but the intro to TKW establishes the in-universe fiction that the titles of episodes, series, and movies are simply nicknames that Starfleet uses... In this report, those sayings (or references to sayings) found in the
Starfleet archives are so noted, identified by the nicknames Starfleet has given to various missions. An explanation of these identifications is found at the end of this report.
(Perhaps sharing those nicknames with non-Starfleet personnel is considered a breach of security.)
