That much is certain.  In STVI (no plot spoilers, I hope), certain 
Klingons' speech hardly matched what was actually said:

     Dujvetlh 'oH nuq    sounded like    dooj verts oh nook
     nuqDaq ghoch        sounded like    nootah gross

Then again, it could be the Klingon equivalent of Plattdeutsch...  :-)
