For Italian, see Paolo Albani and Berlinghiero Buonarroti's article "Klingon, lingua dei" in their book _Aga magèra difùra: dizionario delle lingue immaginarie_ (Bologna: Zanichelli, 1994; pp. 213-214).
For Spanish, see Nicolau Rodrigues' online articles:
"Lingüística klingon: opacidad y transparencia" (2003)
http://hiperespacio.dreamers.com/Artics/klingon/klingon.htm
"Klingons caribeños (¿Quién dijo que la filología no puede ser divertida?)" (2005)

IIRC, for Russian Glen Proechel used *klingonskiy yazyk" for the language and *klingonets* (m.) & *klingonka* (f.) for people when he was in Khabarovsk about 15 years ago.

lay'tel SIvten:
>>> Since Klingons were around long before tlhIngan Hol, the Japanese
>>> word ("kuringon-go") is almost certainly from the English
>>> "Klingon" rather than Klingon "tlhIngan".
