RE: Translation Assistance

Robyn Stewart ([email protected]) [KLI Member] [Hol po'wI']

I think there should be a project to standardize metaphors and 
language for computer systems in Klingon. While I know it would 
facilitate terrible Klingon translations by people who got a hold of 
the list without knowing anything about the language it wouldn't make 
such translations any worse or any less common than they would 
otherwise be and it would give us a ghost of a chance of understanding them.

More importantly it would facilitate the task of making GOOD 
translations, and not make me just ignore such projects, as too much 
work for a mediocre result.
