[Tlhingan-hol] ghuy'cha'! Welsh Government Issues Communique Partly In Klingon

[Robyn Stewart]

I’d give the exact translation from TKD and then the “unsettling communique”-type explanation and then go like you’re going to suggest an actual English translation and trust the interviewer to cut you off before you say it.

Of course you’ll be ready with a CORRECT version of the intended tlhIngan Hol and information on NOT trusting machine translation for any language.

Qapla’!

The Welsh Government ... my government ... were asked a somewhat naive question on UFOs at Cardiff Airport.





The reply from Llywodraeth Cymru is this.


jang vIDa je due luq. ‘ach ghotvam’e’ QI’yaH-devolved qaS


I have been conscripted to discuss this in a Radio Wales broadcast tonight, 17:20, British Summer Time. When I come to the QI'yaH bit, that's where matters are going to get complicated.

 

Good job they didn't respond with drawings of crop circles, eh? Actually, maybe they could have tried that first ...
