English term or phrase: May the Speed be with you.
I am working on an advertisement translation. It contains a slogan "May the Speed be with you" (IT-related advertisement) which is derived from the Star Wars quotation "May the Force be with you" used as a greeting phrase among the Knights of Jedi. I need this advertisement slogan translated into a number of exotic languages, not very common in my area (Indonesian, Hindi, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Korean, Icelandic, Finnish, etc.)
English phonetics should be used for other than Latin alphabet letters. But adding your own alphabet version would be welcome as well.
Thank you.

Måtte (Maatte) farten være (vaere) med deg
Explanation:
Norwegians will know the Jedi greeting, but this translation will also resemble "May God be with you", and should be OK.

Note that \"fart\" in Norwegian means speed. No mistake here....
