Software supporting Klingon for its GUI?
by c.buhtz＠posteo.jp 26 Aug '24

26 Aug '24

Hello together, I am a software developer with several open source projects. One of them support over 40 languages, even some exotic ones. So that is why I am interested in that topic. I wonder if there is "regular" software out there that support its GUI in Klingon. Are you aware of one? Of course there are some games (e.g. Minecraft) or language learning software. But I mean usual software like LibreOffice, Firefox, ... As Klingon language people do you check the settings of your installed software if it support Klingon? Best, Christian

Also, I checked and the correct word for "straight" when describing hair is *tlhep*, not *wan*. >Message: 3 >Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2024 14:59:17 +0000 >From: Steven Boozer <sboozer(a)uchicago.edu> >To: "tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org" <tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org> >Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: tIy >Message-ID: > <SA3PR11MB8048061C5EA3FF36D4E9ED76C18E2(a)SA3PR11MB8048.namprd11.prod.outlook.com> >>SEE ALSO: >wan be straight (v) >Hab be smooth (v)

New word in new book
by Lieven L. Litaer 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Hello dear friends of the Klingon language! I had it announced on other places already: My new book "Klingon at Conventions" which I had published in German this year, is now available in English too. Within the book, you won't encounter any lessons or tutorials. Instead, each chapter has a short dialogue for situations one might encounter at a convention. After each introductory dialogue, there is a two-page chapter on the grammatical content of the lesson, followed by two pages on pronunciation. The book is primarily aimed at advanced learners, but is also a practical learning companion for beginners and useful as a basis for attending a convention. The book contains a QR code leading to a page with audio files. As in this book, the main character encounters an actor at the con, the word for "signature" and "sign" was provided by Maltz (announced several weeks ago) - {tlhI'} Additionally, the book has a short chapter on clothing, which includes an important part of a Klingon uniform for which we did not have a word, until now: It's the shoulder piece attached on top of Klingon uniform, which is called {jorngab}. The book can be ordered nearly worldwide on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Klingon-at-Conventions-Lieven-Litaer/dp/3982396840 (German citizens should consider using our webshop on klingonisch.de) -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" https://tlhInganHol.com https://klingon.wiki/En/KlingonAtConventions

terran loanwords
by Lieven Litaer 19 Aug '24

19 Aug '24

Good morning! while working on the wiki I notived something that made me wonder: There is an option to mark a word as "loanword", and also an option to mark things which are explained by Maltz as "this is a Terran thing". While editing, I noticed that basically ALL terran things are loanwords, of course. OTOH, all loanwords probably are Terran things, most likely (except for very few in-universe things). So my point is: Does it make sense to have these two categories? Shouldn't it be just "loanword for terran things"? I'm interested in your opinions. Lieven. https://klingon.wiki/Word/Categoryterranthing
