Skilled translator needed for Trek emergency:

Netflix US removes Star Trek III due to missing Vulcan and Klingon dialogue

(Yes, I know my thread title is mixing universes. It's an emergency. Desperate times and all that.)

kasp,

This raises an important point: Why are Klingon and Vulcan not taught in schools today? Both languages are obviously needed to succeed in today's world, not to mention tomorrow's.

kasp,

For the same reason that they haven't been taught in schools to date - we haven't yet created a society that doesn't rely on money.

Michael,

I cannot refute that. And it should be obvious to all that once replicator technology becomes affordable we won't have any need for money, except to buy a replicator.

Unfortunate!

Joe,

Can replicators not make replicators?

 

[kasperhauser]

I think that's not allowed. Same as getting three wishes and making one wish a wish for more wishes. It's a technical foul or something.

 

[Anex]

What about if you wish for a replicator, then replicate more wishes with the replicator?

It's like tax evasion vs avoidance.

Joe,

Yes, but in another universe I do believe an o'neill class ship gave them a good kicking.
