Seeing other people write in it, often accompanied by an English translation, and the joy that comes from recognizing many of the words, or better yet, being able to translate the whole sentence without having to look it up. For instance, reading all the stuff mayqel writes about the Greek deities, accompanied by their English translations so I can follow along, is nothing short of inspiring.</div><div dir="ltr"><br><div>Another thing I want is to start translating things into Klingon. Some help isn't bad, but even if I translate the whole thing on my own, I want to make sure I didn't (a) make a syntax error, (b) misuse affixes, or (c) misunderstand the meaning of a word.</div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I already have a particular pop song I'd like to translate in mind.
