How to tweet in Klingon and impress girls! (video)

How to tweet in Klingon and impress girls! (video)

Kapla!

Qapla'!

If you've always wondered, "How come I can't tweet in Klingon?" ... well, game publisher Cryptic has the answer: You can!

Go to TweetKlingon.com, which will install an app that allows you to post items to your Twitter account in the language of Kahless. You can translate from English or choose from a variety of useful phrases. (Your ship is a garbage scow!)

Which should go a long way to helping you get dates.

The app is part of Cryptic's promotion of its upcoming Star Trek Online MMORPG, which launches on Feb. 2, 2010. (Check out the Klingon-centric trailer below.)

tweet-lu'meH QaQ jajvam! (It's a good day to tweet!)

(Thanks to TrekMovie.com for the heads-up.)

Endorsement:
This is cool.
Disclaimer:
But then again I learned Klingon from cassette tape in my linguistic major university days, so I might be a rarity. And I'm female trekkie -rarer still :^)

Isn't the correct spelling Qapla' ???

By SCI FI Wire at 11:03 AM ON 12/03/09

@snooz: We're actually using the modern Pinyin romanization of Klingon as opposed to the Gwoyeu Romatzyh of 1928 or Latinxua Sin Wenz of 1931 ... ah, we're just kidding. Is it Qapla'? Or Kapla? ... anyone?

I believe it's suppose to be Qapla.

By Alessar at 4:48 PM ON 12/04/09

I thought it was K'apla actually. I mean, I'm hearing a glottal stop in there...
