This is from the Sci Fi channels Sci Fi wire:

Klingon Linguists Not Needed 

Officials in Multnomah County, Ore., have rescinded a
call for Klingon language experts after news reports
revealed the plan to hire interpreters for county
mental health patients, the Associated Press reported.
The office that treats county mental health patients
had included Klingon—the fictional Star Trek alien
tongue—on a list of 55 languages that could be spoken
by incoming patients.

But the county has rescinded its call, stressing that
it hasn't spent a penny of public money on Klingon
interpretation, the AP reported. Multnomah County
Chair Diane Linn told the wire service that the
inclusion of Klingon was "a mistake, and a result of
an overzealous attempt to ensure that our safety net
systems can respond to all customers and clients."
