My word, that was a whole lot of years ago.
When they invited me in to do that, I swear they were going to ask me to count in Klingon so they could have the clock tell the time verbally. Imagine my disappointment.

{'enterprise HIvlu'. yIvem 'ej vay' yIta'!}
The translation was apparently provided by Alex Greene:

It seems he originally supplied the translation with {'entepray'}, but
I guess someone in marketing must have thought writing it as
{'enterprise} would make it more recognisable.
{vay' yIta'} sounds a bit artificial to me, like a too literal
translation of "do something". I think I would've gone with something
like {yIvang}.
