I don't use image search a lot, but I use Google
in Klingon as my promary search engine. When I
first tried picture search it was called ngagh
beQ. Considering what picture search is used for
it wasn't entirely inaccurate, but I reported it, and it was changed.
Sadly, there has been a lot of vandalism on the
Google Klingon page recently. I tried for a whole
through the various help sites to find a way to
get it corrected, but I haven't been able to. I
keep getting directed to the utterly unrelated Google Translate.
