Nice!
I want to order an Esperanto-Klingon version. ;)
Most interesting question for all of us:
Are there any brand-new words in there? And, are the included phrases
canonical (it seems they are) so those who keep their own
dictionaries/databases with example sentences can get more input to fill
there corpora? I'm getting tickly fingers, hehe...
