If only there were more politicians like this. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] linguaphiles, I cam across the website of Finnish politician Jyrki Kasvi. It's not just that he seems a nice, idealistic kind of a bloke; his website is available in Finnish, Swedish, English and Klingon.

I think it is very unlikely that the Klingon version of the page reads anything like the translated versions. For a start, I know for a fact that "I strongly trust in love" cannot be rendered in grammatically correct Klingon at all.

I doubt if they have a word for "Welcome" either, given that the closest you can get to "Hello" is "What do you want?"
