Although I am a firm believer in writing things down directly in the foreign
language instead of translating, if you ARE translating from English syntax,
and especially if you are not used to writing in Klingon, one trick I learned
is to first say the sentence backward in English. Then translate. Likewise,
if you are translating from Klingon, read from the period right to left.
Although Klingon is not always backward from English, it is much more often
backward than forward.
