There are a few other computer-assisted drills and translation tools available:
Andrew Strader has series of online Klingon drills at:
http://www.mentalcode.com/tlhingan-hol/
including a tiered vocabulary exercise:
http://www.mentalcode.com/tlhingan-hol/x-vocab/
and a verb prefix exercise (learn those obscure verb prefixes like re- and che-):
http://www.mentalcode.com/tlhingan-hol/x-grammar/prefixes/
He has plans to add an online Klingon tutorial as well.
Teresh's vocabulary program KliFlash for Windows (also displays in pIqaD):
http://teresh.tdonnelly.org/kliflash.html
Holtej's Klingon word-analysis shareware program {pojwI'} is available at
http://www.bigfoot.com/~dspeers/klingon/poj.htm
http://higbee.cots.net/~holtej/klingon/pvc_1_0_0_219.exe
(If you're upgrading from a previous version, save this file to your pojwI' program directory, and rename it "pvc.exe" [replacing the old one])
The Universal Translator Assistant Project is at
http://www.mrklingon.org/
("Unfortunately, UTA doesn't know the rules of Klingon grammar. All it does is map words from one language to another, but it can save time looking them up separately.")
