Indeed there is a Klingon Wikipedia. 67 articles, but it is now locked preventing new articles and new edits.

Also, there’s a Klingon Google.

It’d probably say Qapla’. (It means success)

What I ask myself is, since the Klingons have no word for “Hello/Welcome” but instead say “What do you want”, what would the intro/installation screen say after the installation? :P

I do have one thing to add about how stupid this is tho. Every persons that know any part of Klingon language will be speaking some other language (mostly English) as their main language, I dont think anyone in real life uses Klingon as a first language. So i beleive only languages that could be a first language for someone somewhere should be included as a language choise on an operating system.

Now on a website, Klingon language is just as much fun as Pig Latin for language selection. I wonder if Wikipedia has thlIngan Hol.

It is a language, if someone or a group of people bothered to make up their own vocabulary then its a language. I dont see whats differnt between Klingon language and some language on a remote island in Pacific, they both were made up at some time, even English was made up (although mostly based on other languages)

I believe everyhing that is poular belongs to be in the dictionary, becuase if a majory of English users recognize it, why not be part of the english language?

Is this somehow related to the bacon wallet?

I wanted to try it on 10.4, but all my Macs are on 10.5DP partitions and I didn’t really have a frame of reference to Tiger/want to reboot.
