Lawrence, when you get them you'll have to check the preface and see if
Okrand had any input at all in the translation. Was he in contact with the
translator (to answer questions about the meaning of the Klingon)? Did he
get a chance to read and the final translation? I know Okrand knows Spanish
(cf. his dissertation on Mutsun), so reading Portuguese shouldn't be much
of an obstacle -- particularly for a Ph.D. in linguistics. <g>
Speaking of foreign TKDs, have you ever managed to locate a copy of the
rumored German translation?
