Yes, should have done. It's great.

Why do they hate it?
I had great fun making the broker the PCs were dealing with in the first chapter of The Traveller Adventure a Bwap. Then using that site to generate whole sentences in Bwap which I read confidently at speed with a flapping arm mannerism and then 'translated' into Galanglic. Possibly my most memorable NPC yet. And he still gets remembered with a flap and a "Bawapapa" (Welcome) just about every time we've met.
When you need lots of Traveller names or phrases from a language quickly, it's invaluable.
