Re: [Tlhingan-hol] What happens if you set your Mac's language to "tlhIngan Hol"?
<div dir="ltr">Yes, you can switch your language to tlhIngan Hol. It actually gives you this pretty cool warning, asking if you'd like to use Klingon as your primary language. You then need to restart for the changes to take effect.<div>
<br></div><div>However, once the system comes back up, disappointingly it appears that nothing has changed. All of the UI elements (window titles, menus, hints and other text) are still in English. Not sure what other side-effects there might be, but it doesn't seem to actually use any tlhIngan Hol.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I read through the original post, which included a link to download some fonts. I downloaded and installed a couple of them, but I'm not seeing any Klingon characters in the fonts at all. And just changing the font wouldn't magically translate the strings from English to Klingon anyway, so meh.</div>

What actually happens if you do this? Anyone with a Mac who can try it out?<br>
