StandingEdit

A private is the most basic enlisted grade, below corporal in most rank structures, although some organizations will have an advanced private first class (PFC) grade. Private grade is roughly equivalent with the standing of a crewman (ables'man) of naval forces. (ST - Destiny novel: Gods of Night; ENT novel: Last Full Measure; STO novel: The Needs of the Many)

The Romulan Star Empire has a basic ranking, uhlan, that is analogous to this most basic service grade. (TNG episode & novelization: Unification)

In the Cardassian language, gorr is a Cardassian enlisted title which, in translation to Federation Standard, is approximately equivalent to a private. (DS9 - Millennium novel: Inferno)

In Klingonese, a private is referred to as mang, although it sometimes translates to simply "enlisted" as the Klingon grade name below corporal. (FASA RPG module: The Klingons: Game Operation Manual; ST reference: The Klingon Dictionary)
