It has become customary to greet newcomers an a foreign language. celticgeek here started with Welsh, and others followed suit eventually.

İnan bana, beklediğin kadar kötü değil, ben mesela genelde Türkçe değil, Klingon dili konuşurum.

Tanıştığımıza memnun oldum.

Mando'a. Something like "Hello, my friend/comrade. We welcome you. You are (traitorous - possibly 'unknown'?) but will be a 'friend'." I'm not sure of that last sentence.

Pilchard: Great! Though "aruetyc" is better translated as "stranger". It can mean "traitor" as well, but only applied to other Mando'ade, in general it's "stranger".

How did you do the translation?

I found a Mando'a dictionary somwhere.

Probably the original Traviss one, if it was a Excel file. Does it contain stuff like the a'/a/al prefix and the "ven" future as well? I used a grammar summary for that.

It does have those, yes. It was this one (http://www.mandoa.org/).
