#StarTrekSNW "Through the Lens of Time" spoilers

Things get a little bit more complicated on the right side of the screen and words show additional and missing letters but the English text is mostly still identical to the alien text (which uses a never-before seen alien font/language). The letters Y and H share the same alien letter. 2/5

Uhura is wrong about the meaning of the alien text inside the building (1st pic). It's actually just the same text seen in Chinese earlier in the episode (2nd pic) with two small differences (3rd pic): "stands" becomes "stand" and "eternal" becomes "internal". ;-) 3/5

@gaghyogi49@tenforward.social once, they used to creat whole new languages from zero (klingon).

Now they only write in english, just using alien letters.

This is a little sad.

@DarioZanette@mastodon.uno There is absolutely, absolutely no "only" about this. Only Klingon received this treatment, all the other alien languages of the week were just a few symbols put together. On the new shows, a whole alphabet is created for each and every alien language. 26 letters instead of only 5-10 that were randomly mixed and arranged. For each alien display, a proper English text is written, always in universe with no injokes, always fitting the episode. The text is then displayed using the newly created alien alphabet. Only later, based on the few alien letters seen in the episodes, people created fonts making up new letters (for Malcorian or Cardassian or Romulan, for example). There is no only about what is done on the new shows!
