Hallo Matthias,

(if we talk offlist, you can speak German to me)

I really like the idea! This is ISO code tlh?

Yes, true.

I was already planned for 2008 (but apparently not done):

Yes, it was also tried to contact the KLI in 2003, but they seemed not so much interested. But as I said, a lot has changed since then, so maybe it's worth a try.

There are about 91,000 strings for the UI only:

Yes, I'm interested, but there a few things that one needs to accept:
a) this translation will certainly take a very long time. None of us does this in their main time, so I guess the progress will certainly take several months at least.

b) since Klingon vocabulary is not complete and a lot of things hard to express, it is very certain that we will NEVER really reach 100% translation done. If that's a hinder for the project, we shouldn't even even try to begin with it, honestly.

For those reasons, I would suggest that whoever decides has to accept that such a project will end up in an "almost-entirely" tanslated project. It should be handled as an exception. I would certainly take care for the fact that clearly everything visible is available in Klingon, but there are certainly lots of strings that don't show up very often (such as "an exceptional error has occured" or "this font is not installed"), so those can surely be omitted.

So, turning the question back: Still interested? :-)

By the way, I am using my Klingon localization on my wiki about Klingon, so you can check what that may look like. Go to the following website and choose the language in the upper right corner: http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/MainPage


Lieven.
