Google for Star Trek Fans

SUMMARY: Display Google's interface using your favorite science-fiction character.


 

If you're not just a Star Trek fan, but a Star Trek fanatic, and understand how to 'read' Klingon, you may be interested to know that your favorite search engine can be customized to display text in this language.

To display Google in Klingon:

1. Visit http://www.google.com
2. Click the "Preferences" link.
3. When the "Preferences" page appears, select the pull-down next to "Interface Language".
4. Select "Klingon".
5. Click the "Save Preferences" button.
6. Click "OK" on the dialog box that follows.

The Google home page will now appear in Klingon. Enjoy! Whenever you want Google back in English, click the "Google.com in English" link on the front page.
