That would assume that the subtitle writers are translating directly from K=
lingon, however, or that they have access to detailed notes about the Kling=
on words; both cases are quite improbable, I think.

Now, translating them on your own, on the other hand, could be quite useful=
, as it can sometimes reveal cases where the English translation has multip=
le possible meanings, or is unusually precise.

Would it be, though? I think it would be useful to see how the new words ar=
e translated into a variety of languages =97 it would give us a better sens=
e of their ranges of meanings.
