Geeks are dancing in the streets! (Well, they would be if they weren't so busy in front of their computers or watching Star Trek re-runs...) The German radio service, Deutsche Welle, is celebrating 10 years of its online service by adding a new language to the 30 already offered - Klingon. The Deutsche Welle Klingon pages are also offered in German and English translations for those few of you that haven't bothered to learn Klingon yet.

While originally developed in 1984 to add authenticity to characters of the Star Trek television series, the works of Shakespeare and the Bible have already been translated into Klingon, and there is even a Klingon Language Institute "We should celebrate our 10-year presence in the online universe with a cross-border language. This should help users from other galaxies get an impression of Germany," according to DW director Erik Bettermann.
