[Tlhingan-hol] no' Hol & Paramount Hol in Bing

[Robyn Stewart]

I have a work around for this. For expressions like jIH Doq, which could easily match someone looking for “my blood” normally, I’m making the translation “my blood (ceremonial) so that jIH Doq will translate correctly. I suppose there are a few pathological situations where a person might type in.

jIH Doq vIje’ – and get “I buy my blood” instead of “I buy a red monitor.”  But who buys red monitors?

Yes, that’s what I meant.

Does it mean the Klingon equivalent of meaning e.g. that in English "the fixed word sequence "if it ain’t broke don’t fix it." is valid, but that does not gIve permission to use "ain't" for "is not" or "broke" for "broken" elsewhere."?

When you say, "non-productive," Do you mean that it won't use it to learn or that it will never produce that when going from English to tlhIngan Hol?  Is there any chance that some one might type in, "my blood sings," and get back {bom jIH Doq}?

How well does Bing cope with languages with case endings? I have had some strange results with asking Google autotranslater to translate from English into Latin.
