  Eventhough I’m not technically a trekkie, I’d like to call for volunteers to translate WordPress.com into Klingon.

  The language is pretty well documented, even has its own ISO code, but more importantly there’s a huge fan base out there.

  So, what do you think?

  (This is not exclusive, by the way. If you’re into any other constructed language, we’d like to hear from you too :) )

  I’m a Klingon speaker that has used wordpress for a few years now, so I guess I should get on board with this translation effort and give something back.

  What do I need to do?

  Great! Klingon will be availabe on the languages list very soon, and the moment it’s up I’ll link you to it and add you as a validator. In the meantime, you might want to take a look at the support page for GlotPress.

  Note: there are a few thousand strings to translate, you might consider the option of recruiting additional ˈt͡ɬɪŋɑn to help out…

  It’s on! Klingon is now active at http://translate.wordpress.com/projects/wpcom/tlh/default and qurgh was added as a validator.

  I’m really curious now…
