[Tlhingan-hol] "Klingon" in parody of Coke commercial

[Peter Walker]

Well we at Star Trek Phase II can reach a large audience and inform them
about your Klingon translations. Our episodes reach millions of people.

 

The best way would be if you could translate our Klingon episode Kitumba for
us so that we can release Klingon subtitles.

http://www.startrekphase2.de/kitumba 

 

Surely it would be a nice project that you guys can work on as a group and
we have no problems giving you guys full credit for it.

 

I remember meeting Lieven in person at the German FedCon Star Trek
convention and talking about Klingon subtitles for Kitumba. At that time
however, the episode was not finished.

 

So if you guys can provide us with Klingon subtitles, we have the resources
to inform a lot of people about your group.

 

Regards

True enough.

 

Is there something we (as in, those who are interested in klingon) can do
something about that? Many of us have websites, I assume. Most probably can
do whatever they want with them.

 

I apologize for the malice in the following, but the KLI obviously cannot be
trusted to do anything, as it can't even get the mailing list to work. (The
messages from Lieven and De'vID are not on the web, only in the digest
mail.)

 

I'm not sure I like the following idea, because it smells of search engine
manipulation, but would it be worth considering to set up identical pages
(containing useful information and links to more information, not misleading
keywords) on our own websites to create some sort of presence on the web
that'll lead to a central(?) information hub?

Having a template to copy would reduce the amount of work necessary for the
individual, while making the information easier to discover.

 

If there was a good central information hub, I'd consider putting the link
in forum signatures.

 

Or perhaps a website that contains a link to bing (or includes it, if that
is allowed) together with simple rules to follow in order to at least
produce halfway acceptable klingon? (If there is a way to do that - I don't
have much experience with bing translate, I'm mostly guessing here.)
