Remain klingon
by mayqel qunenoS 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

I was thinking the {tlhIngan maH; taHjaj}, and I don't think that it captures adequately the intended "feeling" of the original "remain klingon". The english "remain klingon", doesn't express a wish; it doesn't mean to say "may we remain klingon". It is an imperative. You walk up to someone and say "(you) remain klingon !". Or, you talk to a group of klingons (which includes you) and say "remain klingon". So, why not just say {tlhIngan SoH 'ej yIratlh !} ? Or, maybe {tlhIngan maH 'ej maratlhbej !} ? I think that the proposed methods, carry more "punch" than the wishful {tlhIngan maH; taHjaj}. Anyways, just my personal take on the matter, or as americans say "my two cents".. ~ nI'ghma

Translating Mastodon
by kechpaja 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

So I recently joined Mastodon (https://mastodon.social) a relatively new open source social network which fills a similar niche to that of Twitter. Since the project is open source, and the number of strings involved is still relatively small, I was thinking of starting to translate it into Klingon. Before actually doing more than a few sentences' worth of translation work, though, I figured I'd check in with this list, to see if anyone is already working on that, and also to ask whether there's any particular reason *not* to translate an open source social network (is that something I might need official approval for?). I have informal confirmation from the lead maintainer of the project that a pull request containing a Klingon translation would be accepted. pItlh - SapIr
