Re: Web Page Translation to Klingon

Since the list has been rather quiet, I figured we could do this as a group
effort online. To get us started, here's the English text (the bracketed items
in caps are web links and should probably not be translated):
Flensburg 2000 - We Invite You!
The strongest men, the best artists, the funniest world records.
We beat all records - at the Festival of World Records 2000.
Date: 7.-9. 7. 2000, Venue: Flensburg, Germany
supported by:
[FLENSBURG (link)]
[AMAZON.COM (link)]
Information: for tourists / for record breakers and journalists
This web page should also become a world record: the most translated
web page! Please help! Send us translations in more languages by e-mail
or directly from a web page.
This web page has been translated to 27 languages so far:
[BENGALI - CLASSICAL GREEK - CROATIAN - CZECH - DUTCH - ENGLISH - ESPERANTO]
[FINNISH - FRENCH - GERMAN - GLOSA - GREEK - HEBREW - HUNGARIAN -
INTERLINGUA]
[ITALIAN - LATIN - LITHUANIAN - NORWEGIAN - POLISH - PORTUGESE - RUSSIAN]
[SLOVAK - SPANISH - SWEDISH - THAI - TURKISH]
First off, how to render a world "record", a la Guiness? A "record, file" {ta}
refers to things like personnel records and files: {ghotpu' tamey} "personnel
files", {tamey ngo'} "archives", {may' ta} "record of battle". Other options
are {ta'} "deed, accomplishment, {ngoq} "goal, purpose", or even {DoS} "target"
perhaps?
