Give an infinite number of geeks an infinite amount of time and they'll translate the Complete Works of Shakespeare into Klingon.

Ah yes, Hamlet is best in the original Klingon.

man, i did not hear anything about this klingon language before. i can't believe that some aliens from star trek does have a language, meanwhile no one has developed an alien language for a star wars race other than human! unbelievable…

I like that they had Maltese. Occitan and Frisian.

Hey, I was looking up the liguistic proverb "Good milk and good cheese is the same in English and Frise"--Frisian being language close enough to English for that sentence to work--and found this: Googlewhack?

the grumpy cynic in me says wouldn't it be nice if all this time and energy was spent on making google accesable for speakers of real languages like tibetan and burmese...

XiBe: cool link. I'm sure the next time my girlfriend (in Peace Corps) comes out of her village and gets to a computer, she'll be glad to see they're working on translating google into hausa. Now all she needs to do is get power run out to the village...
