A mental health service in the United States is looking for a translator who is fluent in Klingon, the language used in the television and film series Star Trek.

wow ... is klingon the only "full language" that was spawned by star trek or were there more languages developed from it?

The guy that did languages for Star Trek is Mark Okrand.

And the [Klingon] bible Mark created has been further swelled by the output from the many new Trekkish TV series - from Voyager to DS9. A lesser known fact is that there are also official Paramount bibles for the Vulcan and Romulan languages (apparently very similar) knocking about, but the popularity if these never seemed to take off in the same way.

Practically the same thing with me.

The sad part is, if I was fluent in Klingon, I could probably have a good shot at that job, since it's in my area.
