Klingon gets Binged

Lt. Commander Worf

Star Trek Into Darkness officially premiers in theaters on my birthday May 16th (Thank You JJ) and coincidentally Microsoft’s Bing has teamed up with Paramount to celebrate with a very cool feature.

Now anyone can use Bing’s Translator to translate text and whole websites into Klingon, the alien language spoken by the always angry "turtle headed" alien warrior race. (For instance, majQa’ means “well done!,” which is exactly what I have to say when using this new tool.)








Bing has added Klingon to our earth bound languages in it's Language Translator.

You can access the Klingon translations via the Bing Translator website or through the Windows Phone Bing Translator app. Yes - Windows Phone finally has an app that Apple and Android does not!

The translations are done using the Klingon alphabet Kronos (see screenshot above) or a direct translation using the English alphabet. For example I was able to find out what it would sound like if Lt. Commander Worf wished me a happy birthday. If you are curious it would sound something like "Quch mann neb qoS".
