I've noticed  the use of imperatives on Facebook as well...like <latlh tI'a=
ng>  or <yIteq>...I understand it, but it's kind of weird.  Or maybe it's m=
ore authentically Klingon and I'm just too new at this language to apprecia=
te it.

Why not singular? wanI', jabbI'ID.

I'm not sure whether the imperative is the best way to translate such
computer labels.

In German, for example, I'd use the infinitive.

In Klingon, I'd be inclined to use a {-meH} form (influenced by the
{vutmeH} book which I seem to recall), so here: {mughmeH}. Compare
also your {je'meH} for "shopping" further above and {peghmeH} for
"privacy" below.

It's as if you can use those links "in order to" translate something,
log out, ....

I'd add a {vaj}: {bIyonbe''a' vaj ghoDubmoH} (or {bIyonbe'chugh vaj ghoDubm=
oH}
