{jatlh} vs. {ja'}
by Daniel Dadap 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

Can {ja'} be used to mean “read aloud”, e.g., to describe the functionality of TTS software, or is it more proper to use {jatlh} for this? In other words, are the following two options equally acceptable, or is either one considered more correct than the other, to express something like “say it to me” to a computer? a) {HIja'} b) {jIHvaD yIjatlh} Background behind the question; you don’t need to read this to answer, but it might help explain why I’m asking: the iOS port of {boQwI'} has been rejected from App Store review, with the claim that it doesn’t provide any functionality beyond what a mobile optimized website (including websites that take advantage of HTML5 offline storage) could provide. While this is technically true, this could also be said of the overwhelming majority of apps on my phone, and likely the majority of apps on the App Store in general, so I don’t know why {boQwI'} fails this review criterion while other apps that seemingly provide less functionality than {boQwI'} pass it. I am in the process of appealing the rejection, but in case the appeal fails I am planning to add additional functionality so that the app can pass this review criterion. After considering some of the possible options, I have decided that the path of least resistance would be to add TTS functionality similar to what the original {boQwI'} app provides when the optional Klingon TTS engine is installed. It is, of course, possible to provide TTS functionality in a mobile website, but to preemptively address this concern, the TTS feature will be exposed via an iOS action extension, so that you can access it from another app by selecting text and sending it to the action extension. I will then plumb the action extension through to {boQwI'} so that it can use a feature that would not otherwise be available to a mobile website. I am hoping that I can call the TTS app and the extension it exposes {HIja'}, as a pun meaning “tell me” and also “yes”, but I don’t know whether the semantics of {ja'} allow for this, or whether {HIja'} can only mean “tell me” in the sense of “report a piece of information to me” and not “say something to me”. On a somewhat related note, does anybody know whether the fact that {HIja'} means “tell me” in addition to meaning “yes” is intentional?

Duolingo qepHom hosts
by David Holt 15 Apr '18

15 Apr '18

Duolingo Klingon has been out for a month now and I hope most of you have had a chance to try it. Duolingo has a separate initiative to create "meet in person" events to work on pronunciation and conversation for all their languages. They have asked me to help them find people to run such groups around the world for Klingon. I ran a qepHom in Chicago right after the launch and had 11 Duolingo users show up to that qepHom (in addition to 4 others that I had informed by other means). If you have wanted to have a qepHom in your area, but didn't know where to start looking for people to join in, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for! To run a qepHom through Duolingo, you do not need to be an expert at the language, just an enthusiastic learner with organizational skills. Duolingo actually provides a lot of support and ideas for things to do. These are not intended to be lessons, but just chances to get together and try to use the language. Feel free to ask me any questions. If you want to see what the Chicago group looks like, go to: https://events.duolingo.com/chicago-klingon/<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.duolingo.com%2Fchicago-…> If you want to see other Duolingo Event groups, go to: https://events.duolingo.com/<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.duolingo.com%2F&h=ATP8X…> If you want to sign up to run Klingon Events in your city (or even other languages), go to: https://events.duolingo.com/host/<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.duolingo.com%2Fhost%2F&…> Jeremy

At the notes of qep'a' 2017, there is the following error: {SISbe' 'e' 'aqlu'law'} with the translation of "it would appear that it will rain, it seems that it will rain" Obviously this should be "it would appear that it will not rain, it seems that it will not rain" ~ nI'ghma
