mughwI'pu' vIpoQ!

Lately, I've been thinking, wouldn't it be cool to add the Klingon language to bloxd?

What do I need to do to make it happen? I assume we would need a team of translators, so if you, the reader, would like to translate Klingon for bloxd or learn how to do so, then leave a comment!

If anyone reading this knows anything about the process of applying for a new language, do comment down below if I would need any initial Proof of Concept, userbase justification, or a team of translators to apply, as well as any other pertinent information about the application itself and where I might submit such an application.

Many thanks for your help!

I made a tour of my base of surv lobby 999 with the new replay mod, enjoy!

While doing a translation, I found myself needing to translate a command, i.e. an instruction provided to a machine or a human to execute a certain task, in the form of a noun, and I am not certain what to use. These are the options that I have considered:

- ra'wI'

-'IStegh

-ra'ghach

For ra'wI', the normal and common meaning would be a commander, but I am unsure if the -wI' prefix stretches to allow it to mean a command. Therefore, I considered the alternative of using -ghach, but using that on a verb without other suffixes seems to be discouraged. 'IStegh seemed to mean an instruction, which would be the closest match, but it might not carry the intensity or urgency needed to convey the idea of a command. Could there be other roots to consider? Any help would be appreciated.

Original

We cannot afford to draw from the freedoms enjoyed in the United States, in the British Empire, the conclusion that these freedoms do not exist in a considerable number of countries, some of which are very powerful. In these countries control over the ordinary people is enforced from above by pervasive police governments to a degree which is contradictory to every principle of democracy. The only instrument capable at this historical moment of preventing war and resisting tyranny is the "fraternal association of the English-speaking peoples." This means a special relationship between the British Commonwealth and Empire and the United States of America.

Translation:

Any thoughts? I'd welcome suggestions.

is it correct to say this?
intended meaning: All of Gaul is divided into three parts.

side question: why is there a subreddit called r/tlhInganHol and another called r/Klingon?

A confectionery product, which the writer of this sentence, but not necessarily the speaker of it, takes extreme, non-compensable, and, frankly, quite indulgent pleasure in orally ingesting, by means of using a pair of opposing, preferably rigid rods, to place the sweet into the oral cavity of the aforementioned speaker, such that it may gently rest on the lingual and sublingual areas, or such that it may chaotically obey the laws of entropy and allow itself, perhaps assisted by said oral muscle, to roll into the abyss of the folds of the cheeks, wherein it lies, allowing its rather high and respectable concentration of sugar, glucose syrup, colour mixture, natural flavours like mint oils and menthol, and wheat, to inflict upon itself a significantly lower water potential as compared to the other areas of the oral orifice in which it is not; which then in turn draws water molecules to show themselves the exit across the partially permeable cell membranes of the cellular structures adjacent to aforementioned cough drop via osmosis, such that the surrounding area in the cheek flap may feel pleasantly wrinkled, and yet the osmotic gradient is not strong enough to wrinkle it too severely in such a way that causes discomfort or actionable injury; which said product is a certified 'B' corporation, halal certified, imported by and acting as sole agent for Hong Kong, Malaysia, and the Philippines; which has a net weight of a hectogram, or the equivalent weight of about a fiftieth of the volume of blood present in the average human body; which comes encased in cans of varying dimensions, of which the smallest size is possessed by the esteemed writer of this brief sentence; and which bears the incredibly famous, well-known, reputable, and even revered household nomenclature, which is spelled out in an adaptation of the Latin alphabet the Romans used, which has a operational difference of adding additional letters j and u, as well as the lowercase equivalent of all the letters, Ricola.
