Star trek subs says "Está en salvo" which I find odd. I would have said "está seguro" what do you think? Gracias.

I wonder who writes the subtitles, I suppose it is contracted out... - margaretbl, May 30, 2010

The expression you want in this context is "está a salvo" (he/she is safe) Not " en salvo", which is incorrect.

Wow so está a salvo is more correct está seguro here? Está a salvo. He is safe. I will write it down. - jeezzle, May 31, 2010

Yeah me too, seems odd here. - jeezzle, May 30, 2010
"Está seguro" means he/ she is secure / secured, or sure of what he/she is saying or doing. "Está a Salvo" means he/she is safe from harm. - Gekkosan, May 31, 2010

Hmm. To me this sounds like "he is saved." I think that this is just one of those things where the exact translation doesn't quite convey the right meaning.

I'd definitely say "Está seguro."
"Está en salvo" sounds like "He is saved/He's been saved."
