Just for fun I tried to translate a phrase to Klingon, and I have to say the translation of the phrase “What she says is truth” does sound pretty impressive in Klingon—Nuqjatlh ghah says is vit.
Every language has phrases that sound impressive and exotic. But, I’m of the opinion that thinking everything written in a particular language sounds impressive and exotic is a sign of not speaking that language very well. Ordinary, everyday statements sound less impressive the more familiar you get with the language.

I like her teacher.. She hasn’t sent her to the principal yet. She seems to be letting a little of Agnes imagination come out.

Agnes’s book exists somewhere in Borges’ Library of Babel, both the original text and in translation, so all she has to do is find it.
