One thought on “How to speak Klingon via translator & dictionary apps”
If you use webOS, there is a Klingon dictionary on that too.
The only problem with the iOS apps is that there is no grammar guide. You still need a copy of the Klingon Dictionary by Marc Okrand to actually put the words together correctly.
‘ej jav SaD mu’mey ghajbe’ tlhIngan Hol. wej SaD mu’mey ghaj.
Klingon doesn’t have 6000 words, it only has about 3000 words.
