Lieutenant or Leftenant?

[Olwe]

Which one does your nation use, Lieutenant or Leftenant? It's usually the same rank no matter how you spell/pronounce it, but it'd still be interesting to see which countries use which one.

In Olwe, Lieutenant is the standard but foreigners who join our military after becoming citizens or serve in our Foreign Legion are allowed to use the alternate pronunciation if they find it more comfortable.

[The Eight Republics]

Neither, as the equivalent rank "Leutnant" is pronounced: [ˈlɔɪ̯tnant]

To our understanding, however, both pronunciations of the English word are spelled "Lieutenant." Are we mistaken?

[The Grand World Order]

Lieutenant, and we have three grades of it.

[Olwe]

To our understanding, however, both pronunciations of the English word are spelled "Lieutenant." Are we mistaken?

In Mechwarrior 2, Jeremy Hawksworth's rank is specifically stated as "Leftenant General"... other than that I don't know, since I've never served in the military in RL and assume most of the books I've read have taken liberties to some extent.

[Socialist Republic of Andrew]

We the rank is Lieutenant, but we pronounce it as Leftenant.
and they're spelt Lieutenant, but most of the people including Emperor Andrew pronounces it Leftenant, and their ranks are spelt Lieutenant in the military, and it has 2 grades, Second Lieutenant and First Lieutenant.

[Saurisisia]

It is pronounced Lieutenant and it is composed of two grades.

[Geadland]

We call the rank "Ljötenånt" which is pronounced [ljøtənɒn] "Lyuh-te-non". Closer to the former.

[Equalium]

Lieutenant to us is actually higher than a Leftenate. Leftenates are usually subordiants o Lieutenats in Equalium.

[Auzkhia]

We use Leutnant as we are a mostly German speaking country. In English translations, Lieutenant is used.

[Victorious Decepticons]

We don't use the rank. We have High Generals (always capitalized), a single rank of regular generals, and commanders. Only High Generals maintain their positions year after year; the others are only commissioned during battles or wars and return to regular status once the engagement is over.

How much power a non-high general or commander wields while holding the rank depends on how many troops are assigned to his command. There is no set amount. A battle that only needs 10 troops will have a commander - and a battle that needs 100,000 troops will also have a commander. The one chosen for the second scenario is assumed to have a high level of skill at directing a large horde, while the one with only 10 troops is presumed to be an expert at small unit tactics.

[Regnum Albion]

It's spelt 'lieutenant' but pronounced 'leftenant'. There's some archaic custom that goes along the lines of only those in the Royal Navy are 'leftenants' and the rest are actually 'lieutenants' but that fell out of usage in the 18th-19th centuries. (This is both an IC answer for how Regnum Albion pronounces the word, and interestingly (maybe) an OOC answer for how the British do it).

[Eahland]

We spell and pronounce it "teoþingmann".

[Dyste]

There is no actual rank of the sort in Dyste, so there is no need for choosing one. Generally, 'Lieutenant' is used when dealing with foreign nations which may use the rank.

[United Timelines Outpost Number 99999999]

Tactical Response and Urban Enforcement (T.R.U.E.) use Leftenant, while Wasteland Guard use Lieutenant.

[Barunia]

Neither, as the equivalent rank "Leutnant" is pronounced: [ˈlɔɪ̯tnant]

To our understanding, however, both pronunciations of the English word are spelled "Lieutenant." Are we mistaken?

Correct. We use the proper spelling of lieutenant, but the pronunciation of "leftenant."

[Hyskigland]

We use the rank "rightenant" instead.

No, not really.

[Phocidaea]

The official term has changed over time; currently the calqued tenens (compare Italian tenente, Spanish teniente) is the official designation.

You English and French and your "lieu"...

[Bereia]

We pronounce it basically as it is spelled. It is spelled "lieutenant," and we pronounce it as such.

[Eupheos-Anetus]

In the Imperial Armies of the Eupheos-Anetus Empire, Lieutenant comes before First Tier Captain.

[Kirav]

The Kiravian military doesn't have a rank that sounds anything like that. It would be impossible to decline a noun ending in '-nt', because '-nt' is the suffix for the singular essive of nouns in the third declension.

[Haktiva]

lieutenant

[Radiatia]

Lieutenant (Although in the Radiatian language it is spelt a bit more phonetically as "lutennänt".)
