[Tlhingan-hol] FW: Google Search in Klingon

[Robyn Stewart]

As I've said before, most of these one-word labels only mean 
something in English because we use systems that use them, and as 
soon as we're faced with a new social network or web portal, we have 
to learn new ones.  So it's not as important that Klingon labels be 
perfect as that they be standard. We learn the interface once in 
Klingon, and then if we're really lucky the standardization allows us 
to evade the English labels and go straight to understandable Klingon.
