Quick note - I'm the author of UTA, and I tried to hammer out all over the
program and the web site, IT ISN'T a translator. It does relexification
(replacing one vocab with another, and out of sloth and copyright worries
it has a really lousy Klingon vocab). It has some practical applications,
(Dr. Marketa Zvelbil, the developer of a Vulcan language has found it
works, after a fashion for Vulcan) but is far more a toy for people who
want to see what galactic languages might look like than any kind of
translation tool. Get d'Armond Speers pojwI' program from his web site
instead for a serious study tool:
