RE: Help translating an English phrase to Klingon.

[Marc Reinig <mreinig@pacbell.net>]

qurgh,

Thanks you again.  Is there a way to get a bitmap of actual Klingon script
representing these phrases?  Or is there a Klingon font that can be loaded
in Windows?

Thanks in advance.

Marco

Hi there,

Being a long time Windows programmer and Klingon speaker, I thought I'd
give it a stab. Best I can come up with are:

lawmey chenmoHbogh ghutpu''e'vaD rop noblu'jaj

lawmey chenmoHwI'vaD rop noblu'jaj

The first one means:

May the people that make the rules be given a disease.

The second one means:

May the creator of the rules be given a disease.

You could use either without any problems.

Hope this helps

qurgh
