The word, "Yahren" is also the German word for "Year". As far as the Convention title goes, if you speak German, it's correct. Iit seems a bit illogical holding them to an obscure reference in a book that was written well after the Convention was held.
I mean, Trek fans interpret the "stardate" reference so they can use it to get current dates out of it - it's not real, just a fictional reference.
