Yes, they have Klingon, Pharmacists Latin, Bork Bork Bork!, Hacker,
Interlingua, Esperanto and a dozen of things more, which I cannot tell for
sure whether are languages or funny inventions. And, of course, my choice of
the moment: Ewmew Fuddian...
[Fun killer: These articifical languages are of course a luxury, considering
that there are still millions, probably billions, of people on earth who
don't speak even one of the provided languages at all].
Although Google of course has its own commercial reasons for doing this, it
doesn't prevent me for liking the approach. It is probably quite cost-low
for Google, as they use free translations provided by users. I have even
corrected some of the spelling mistakes in Danish, and will be curious to
see if they are corrected.
