HIja' tlhIngan Hol JabbI'ID ghom 'oHbej, 'ach tuchlu'be' tera'ngan Holmey.
As mark said, it is often interesting to compare other languages with
Klingon, to explore possible ways of phrasing things. I enjoyed it when
ghunchu'wI included the Italian text, along side the Klingon version, from
Dante's Inferno, I am also interested to hear the observations from our
Spanish and Portuguese members on how Klingon compares to their languages.
As long as the messages are primarily about tlhIngan Hol, I see no harm in
the occasional tidbits of other languages.
