Hi all.

I'm doing a Klingon Desktop for desktopx  www.desktopx.net  

In it I'm creating a menu system that can switch between English
(Standard Federation), Klingon (English Font) and Klingon (piqad Font)
by selecting English, Klingon or piqad on the desktop.

So far I've got 

menu    HIDjolev

If the word isn't in Klingon then I'll need to convert it into a
phonetic equivalent of what it sounds like in English so it can be
converted into piqad

Using the { } around the word (Even when in piqad should at least make
it visible that the word isn't a Klingon word.

Eg. ICQ

{yCqu}

Eg.  VMware Workstation

{vmware} yaH Qap
or
{vmware} yaHQap 


Station (n)    {yaH}  -TKD
Work (v)      {Qap} function -TKD
                     {vum} toil - TKD
                     {baj} work for (activity), earn  - KGT


If a couple of the Advanced Klingon Language users feel up to it you
could post info on your thoughts of common programs and how you would
(have) handled it.
