The words resemble Wookie, Klingon, Vulcan, Romulan and Mando'a language vocabulary from Star Wars and Star Trek. The words created might actually be words in those languages - but for this program they are created randomly. This version is based on the previous NeoTrinkey version.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen started the program goes into a loop where a Carl Sagan quote (from the \"sagan\" file) is selected and printed, and each unique word is assigned one of the generated words, then the quote is displayed \"translated\" into the alien dialect. The progam then pauses for 20 seconds, then one of the five languages is chosen from random and a new quote is displayed.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: this absolutely \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/em\u003e a real translation, just a fun exercise in generating alien text.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFILES:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epolyglot.py - program code\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecode.py\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emetadata.json\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epolyglot.bmp - Fruit Jam icon\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esagan - set of Carl Sagan quotes.
