"It is good to be a Klingon."    (?)
How to translate. I'm having flashbacks of the "to be or not to be" problem
which has completely worn itself out and shows no danger of resurfacing.
Even so, I myself would try:
{QaQ tlhIngan ghaHghach} = "His being a Klingon is good."
Still, doesn't quite sound right. Possibly this:
{QaQ tlhIngan ghaHghach vay'} = "Someone/anyone's being a Klingon is good."
