Germany's state-run radio is broadcasting in a new language - Klingon.

The popularity of the show in Germany and abroad prompted Deutsche Welle network to offer online reports and audio clips in Klingon.

The station said the language will be added to the existing 30 languages that they already use on their homepage.

"We should celebrate our 10-year presence in the online universe with a cross-border language," DW director Erik Bettermann said. "This should help users from other galaxies get an impression of Germany."

2. of course... but a Romulan translation? no, that 'wouldn't be practical'

typical preferential treatment for the Klingons

3. SNICKER! The guy who wrote the Klingon language knew it was here

to stay when he was a judge of a talent show at a big con and a gal
came out dressed as a klingon in a cowgirl suit and sang "Crazy" in
fluent Klingon. :)

It'll just make him mad.
