Two versions were released in the UK, but I can't find this other version. To cut a long story short, Goku, Gohan, and Goten were all spelt as Sangoku, Sangohan, Sangoten plus Ginyu was called Ginius.

In this version he is referred to as SuperGoku.
Do you have the one for Gohan?
I could scan them when I get home but I dont think there is anything very interesting about his entry.

I'm sure I saw something like "You are the son of SUPER GOKU and CHI CHI. You quiet, but strong. A fine little gentleman!"
Where's the beef?

Ok Ill type out the descriptions as they appear with origional punctuation and capitalizations:

Gohan (Cell Games)
First child of SUPER GOKU and CHICHI, you had PICCOLO as a sensei: you have a great respect for him. However, you are kind and timid like a little gentleman! But within, you hide a power that is capable of making such terrifying enemies as FRIEZA and VEGETA tremble with fear! Even though you are small and your fighting technique is nothing special, your special moves such as you KAMEHA-MEHA or MASEN LIGHT are very powerful
However far funnier is the entry for Great Saiyaman. This is priceless.

Great Saiyaman
You are still at school! So you have to fight behind this mask: neither BIDEL nor the others must know... But above all, you love wearing this get-up! With varied techniques of a good level, GHOAN is not very strong in the attack. Our masked avenger does not have the experience of GOHAN ... And in any case, not in the manga or TV series. Luckily, you are a good potential GOHAN. So foward, avenger!
:lol:

This version is probably a translation of the French version, which came much earlier. It also had the pre- and post-battle comversations cut out, and the strange names come from that version (I remember seeing "Likum", "Genious", and "Sangoku", among others).
It's party time, Ginyu style!
