Editing Klingon language (section)

== Real world usage ==
In July 2015, the [[Welsh Government]] issued a written statement in the Klingon language. Following a formal questioning of the Economy Minister [[Edwina Hart]] regarding the funding of research into [[UFO]] sightings around [[Cardiff Airport]] by [[Member of the Senedd]] [[Darren Millar]], a press officer in the Minister's office issued the reply: 

{{Blockquote|{{mono |jang vIDa je due luq. ʼach ghotvamʼeʼ QIʼyjH-devolved qaS}}}}

which was translated as: "The minister will reply in due course. However this is a [[Devolved, reserved and excepted matters|non-devolved matter]]."<ref>{{cite news |last=Deans |first=David |url=https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/welsh-ministers-were-asked-information-9624682 |title=Welsh ministers were asked for information about UFO sightings... and they replied in KLINGON |publisher=Wales Online |date=July 9, 2015 |access-date=November 23, 2018 |archive-date=November 24, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181124162202/https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/welsh-ministers-were-asked-information-9624682 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jul/10/star-trek-welsh-assembly-ufo-question-prompts-dip-into-trilingualism-with-klingon |title=Welsh assembly UFO question prompts dip into trilingualism with Klingon |newspaper=The Guardian |date=July 10, 2015 |access-date=November 23, 2018}}</ref>{{efn|Literally, it reads "Answers[sic] minister and due of course.

* [http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/ReligiousTextTranslationProject Religious Text Translation Project on the Klingon Language wiki]

Co-ordinated by Melanie Roney, the KBTP has assumed the immense task of translating the books of the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, into Klingon. Promoted by the [[Klingon Language Institute]] (whose goals do not include missionary work, but this project was considered worthy of KLI's efforts for purely secular reasons).

NSKOL has published two volumes containing several portions of the Bible translated. One can find online the following specimen:
