Trek annoyance: it bothers me that in The Undiscovered Country, Uhura is... really bad at both speaking and understanding Klingon. She's supposed to be an expert xenolinguist, you know? (Yes, in the prime timeline too, not just Kelvin.)

Granted, at that point, it might've been decades since she had the occasion to speak or translate the language (given universal translators and such), but they make it like she had never even tried.

EDIT: Apparently this didn't sit well with Nichelle Nichols either...

Nichelle Nichols objected to the scene in which the crew desperately searches through old printed Klingonese translation dictionaries in order to speak the language without the standard universal translator being used. It seemed more logical to her that Uhura, being the ship's chief communications officer, would know the language of the Federation's main enemy, or at least have the appropriate information in the computer. However, director Meyer bluntly overruled her. Chekov can be heard explaining at the beginning of the scene that "a universal translator would be recognized". (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (Special Edition) DVD-special feature, "text commentary") In the alternate reality of Star Trek Into Darkness, Uhura — who may have had a different education from that of the Prime Uhura — does speak Klingonese (or as she and Captain Kirk refer to it, "Klingon").

Star Trek: Klingon Language Lab

Original Release: 1996

Developer: Simon & Schuster

Publisher: Simon & Schuster

Platform: PC

Released alongside Star Trek: Klingon, this software is an introduction to the Klingon language. It features Robert O’Reilly as Gowron who reads out all the Klingon words and phrases – each one has a video of him saying it, too. It has right categories, each with its own quiz to test your skills, which seem on a similar level to Duolingo.

It also features a section that helps you with the individual phonemes. While there’s only a limited amount of words and phrases, it’s a decent introductory language tool.

I’m watching this reality show with my brother that’s like a blacksmithing competition and some of these people look exactly like you’d expect blacksmiths to look and others look like the person in movies that blacksmiths would kick out of the tavern.

My manager at work loves that I’m trying to learn klingon, and has said that if I know how to do closing announcements in klingon he would let me do it. How would I say the store is closing in x minutes or that the store is closed?

Throwback to the days when you could use Google search programmed to translate results into Swedish Chef, Elmer Fudd, Klingon and Hacker. Sadly, they don't seem to work anymore but if I am mistaken I'll be overjoyed.

Admittedly I have not checked Google Translate.

I hope it's still around. I mean AI had to be invented for SOME REASON, right?

Monopoly: Klingon Edition

Original Release: 2011

Developer: Hasbro

Publisher: Hasbro

Platform: Board Game

While this is still the exact same game as regular Monopoly, there’s a bit of effort put into the design of this. Every single part of the game has been translated into Klingon and the overall design is extremely nice – apart from the four corner tiles that Hasbro never like to change (although they still approved Klingon translations on them). Things have also been reworded to make it sound like a war game – money represents the size of your forces. It doesn’t make any difference to how the game works, but it does add a bit of charm to this version. It’s still an awful game.

Headcanon that Eliot, Hardison, and Parker speak Klingon when they want to have a conversation with just themselves.
