In my campaign, the ennemy doesn't speak the common language of the
players. I've decided that it would be more fun if I actually use a
language the players don't know. The wizards will be
able to cast "understand language" but the others will not. They will
have to recognize some words from it or they'll have problems
of communication. I think it just adds an element of realism. Since
they all speak french and english, there was only Klingon left to be
used as an other language.
If they realize its klingon, then hopefully they will try to learn it
and gain an advantage in the campaign. Otherwise, the language barrier
will remain.
Now I'll try to translate the above paragraphs into Klingon. (Wish me
luck ;)
