info from Maltz about {boQwI'}
by De'vID 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

As some of you know, I have been working on adding requested features to {boQwI'}. As you may also know, {boQwI'} has a Klingon-language user interface. Maltz has come to know of the project (I guess someone on the Federation Scientific Research Council mentioned it to him), and has offered some comments on the user interface text. Some of the info reveals new vocabulary, so I didn't want to keep them from the community. OTOH, I can't reveal the info without also revealing what features are in development for {boQwI'}, some of which I *did* want to keep secret, because I didn't want to get anyone's hopes up in case they didn't get completed. So, be warned that not everything mentioned in these messages is necessarily going to end up in {boQwI'} (or at least not necessarily any time soon). There's a lot of info, so I'm going to split things up into several messages. (I've already posted the info about sorting, in a reply to Lieven's message about {patlhmoH} being used in Star Trek: Discovery.) -- De'vID

iOS pIqaD keyboard
by Daniel Dadap 19 Feb '18

19 Feb '18

I know there’s already an iOS pIqaD keyboard (Klingon Swipekeys), but it’s $0.99 and I felt like a free one might encourage more people to use pIqaD on iOS, so I made one. It’s still a little rough around the edges, but none of my friends speak Klingon or read pIqaD, so I’m looking for people to help test it. If you have any interest in testing an iOS pIqaD keyboard, reach out to me off-list and I can send you an invite via the App Store’s TestFlight mechanism.

info from Maltz: mode, theme
by De'vID 18 Feb '18

18 Feb '18

I still don't understand why, but several people have asked for {boQwI'} to have a {DIvI' tu'qom}. --- begin quote --- For “mode,” use {lo’} “use” (noun). “Night mode” would be {ram lo’} “night use, night usage.” “Search mode” could be {SammeH lo’}. ({nejmeH lo’} also works; depends on how confident you are in your search engine apparently.) “Lesson mode” could be {ghojmeH mIw lo’}. For “theme,” {tu’qom} “appearance, configuration” should work. --- end quote --- -- De'vID

info from Maltz: preferences
by De'vID 17 Feb '18

17 Feb '18

This is in references to the "preferences" or "settings" page found in software. --- begin quote --- Maltz thought that {SeHlaw} could work if it’s referring to the whole page, not individual settings. An individual “option” or “preference” is {DuH}. A “category” is {buv} “classification.” --- end quote --- -- De'vID
