Re: Web Page Translation to Klingon
This is what I translated for the top part:
loDpu' HoS law' Hoch HoS puS, DIjwI'pu' nIv law' Hoch nIv puS, yuQ tamey
tlhaQ law' Hoch tlhaQ puS.
yuQ tamey cha'SaD yupma'Daq Hoch tamey DIjey.
qaStaHvIS tera' DIS cha'SaD, tera' jar Soch, tera' jaj Soch, tera' jaj
chorgh, tera' jaj Hut je, Daq: Flensburg, Germany
I didn't touch Flensburg, Germany, since (a) I didn't know how to do it
using romanized pIqaD, and (b) It is much clearer in English and (c) I'm
unsure of how a Klingon would do it.
