There are a lot of mistakes and ommisions in the original transcrip, for example:
"during world war one fired from court orders of power" :-)
should be:
"Born during World War I, far from the corridors of power"
I hope it hasn't been translated to other languages from this version of original transcript.
Please, take a look at this transcript:

The speech can't be translated to other languages, unless it is revised and corrected.
