The Learn Klingon language course I worked on with Marc Okrand is now up on
Amazon.co.uk and for pre-order.
Apparently it will initially be released in 100 languages to choose from.
Although I imagine that will be relative to which country you buy it in
unless you go direct to EuroTalk. I personally know that there are more
than 260 languages mapped to the template including Navajo so in theory you
should be able to get a Navajo to Klingon version. The course is in the
standard Romanised tlhIngan Hol and also pIqaD.

EuroTalk's Description
Klingon is the language spoken by the legendary Klingon warriors in the
hugely successful Star Trek TV shows and movies.
Language learning specialists EuroTalk have brought out this beginners guide
to spoken Klingon with the help of Marc Okrand, creator of the Klingon
language.
The Talk Now! CD-ROM covers everyday words Klingons would use if they lived
on Earth today, including some brand new ones. Phrases that are unique to
the Klingon culture are not included.
''People interested in learning Klingon will get a big kick out of this
product - it's great fun!'' says Marc Okrand.
Importantly, you don't have to be an English / American speaker to use this
disc as the Klingon has been translated into 100+ tongues. Choose yours.
EuroTalk software is completely intuitive - the simple interface means that
learning is as easy as pointing and clicking. Speech recording allows you to
record your voice and compare it to the approved pronunciation. Quiz
yourself with 2 levels of difficulty to test what you've learnt - earn
points and monitor your progress, then take on the memory man and get the
maximum possible 1800 points to receive the gold award!
Learn at your computer - or alternatively, print out pages of the printable
picture dictionary, or you can learn on the move using the iPod application.
Above all, EuroTalk discs are designed to be fun. Research in the early
1990s at the University of California revealed that memory is greatly
improved when accompanied by fun and laughter. Our quizzes, games and
stories provide this and you will be amazed how much you remember after a
surprisingly short time devoted to a disc.
