1909ⓘTranslated by Frederick Lawton
This translation begins:
There is no reason for hiding from the reader that the town in which this singular story commences is situated in Virginia, United States of America. With his permission, we will call this town Whaston, and we will place it in the east, on the right bank of the Potomac; but we deem it useless to specify the exact whereabouts of Whaston, which does not appear even on the best maps.

1983ⓘTranslated by Manfred Hoffmann using former versions.
The text starts as: <i>Wir haben nicht den geringsten Grund, den Lesern zu verheimlichen, daß die Stadt, in der diese seltsame Geschichte beginnt, in Virginia, in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, zu suchen ist. Wir wollen sie ganz einfach Whaston nennen und annehmen, sie liege im östlichen Teil des Staates, und zwar am rechten Ufer des Potomac. Ihre Koordinaten zu nennen, halten wir jedoch für überflüssig, denn man würde sie auch auf den besten Landkarten der USA vergeblich suchen.</i>
