A locale-sensitive title-case operations for the Klingon language would not
produce "Yijachqo'. Vitlhob." from "yIjachQo'. vItlhob." any more than a
locale-sensitive title-case operation for the Irish language would produce
"Nathair" from "nAthair" although a deliberately "fuzzy" case-folding operation
might.
If Klingon isn't in the Latin script the joke about having the word "ghoti" for
fish isn't as funny.
