My Commodore 64 Speaks Klingon - and yours can too!

These three programs are provided as part of the Universal Translator Assistant Project and are written in compiled CBM Basic. To download them, click on the screen shot and you will get the uuencoded text of the program.

uta - provides primitive "translating" of English <--> Klingon. Really doing a relexification between two vocabularies

kahless - provides vocabularly look up from the Klingon words in Michael Jan Friedman's book "Kahless".

nlex - vocabulary lookup. A subset of words from the Klingon dictionary and afix charts (noun and verb suffixes, and verb prefixes).
