(b) They're no longer doing "joke" languages like Klingon or Bork (as they did at the start). I doubt they'd accept Lojban, especially since it's no-one's native language (i.e., everyone who speaks Lojban speaks another language which they may already have anyway). You could try translating the Opera browser, though; I had a go at translating it into a conlang once. Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton
