Oh, how i wish some creatures was named using my language :D

We have 42 letters in our Alphabet :)

Problem is, when you look at translated words from scifi or fantasy, they didnt sound that cool and sometimes they sound unapropriet.

Where are you from? Or what's the language?

Go ask the loremaster if there's an appropriate Etherian equivalent culture!
I can take the fun out of anything. It's true; here, look at this spreadsheet.

Czech republic - Czech language - we have " ˇ " and " ´ " above some letters. á,é,č,ě, etc. also we have ů and ú. Its easier to learn and speak klingon then czech :)

No thanks!
Arcane Wonder's attempts at using German names for cards have been rather painful (Dwarf Kriegsbiel, I'm looking at you!). Reserve that for the localized versions of the games.

In french, we also use ö, we have it for all the vowel too.

In french, the 2 little dots are named "traimats" and it make you stop right before the letter with them than continue.

So it would be pronounced Slav-(hard stop here)-org

Hmm. I thought using it that way was restricted to words with two consecutive vowels, e.g. Citroën.
It's required in such cases, because otherwise you might pronounce it like an umlaut, i.e. Citrön.

I've even seen it used that way in English, e.g. in the word coöperation.

I see you read the Newyorker!
(They're often gently mocked because their house editorial style spells co-operation that way.)
