I saw that - interesting article, and the first one I've ever read that referenced Klingon language without making fun of it.

They've actually had to USE the Klingon translators? Or was some overly PC person just afraid they WOULD need one?

IIRC, they advertised for Klingon speakers as they had some patients who would only speak Klingon.
