I think there should be a project to standardize metaphors and
language for computer systems in Klingon. While I know it would
facilitate terrible Klingon translations by people who got a hold of
the list without knowing anything about the language it wouldn't make
such translations any worse or any less common than they would
otherwise be and it would give us a ghost of a chance of understanding them.
More importantly it would facilitate the task of making GOOD
translations, and not make me just ignore such projects, as too much
work for a mediocre result.
