[tlhIngan Hol] ponglIj 'oH Alexa'e'

[RE Andeen]

You can report the bad translation to me. I work at Amazon now, as a developer on Alexa, though I’m not involved in this particular feature. I’ll find out how to get it fixed.

Anyway, I’m trying to figure out where to report the problematic translation (-wIj instead of -lIj) in the built-in “Alexa, speak Klingon” responses. Does anybody know who did those translations? Most of the other ones seem right.

Apparently you can ask Amazon Alexa to speak Klingon. Unfortunately Alexa seems to think that {nuq 'oH pongwIj'e'} is what one should say when one wants to know _your_ name.
