pagh,

Say, for example, you were sitting in front of a Star Trek, Federation
computer terminal which can display programs in a variety of languages.
When you activate the terminal, a screen comes up with the sentence
"Please Select Interface Language" in various languages (including
Klingon), the translation I came up with is /jIH Hol yIwIv/.
But /jIH/ does not sound right. As you said, /jIH/ is a monitor or
viewscreen --a piece of hardware-- and that is not what i'm after.
So, yes it is a user interface.
/De'wI' lo'meH mIw/??

That should work on a website for a "Back" (to Previous Page) option.

Thanx for your prompt response.
