I'm curious, ghor, you live in Finland right? Have they translated the

voiced-over the Klingon lines or if they retained the original dialogue.

In ST3, Kruge gives an order to set a new course to the Federation
Neutral Zone. In clipped Klingon, he says: He chu' ghoS. DIvI' neHmaH.
In Generations, Lursa gives a command to set course to the Veridian
system. Although her words were clearly pronounced, I don't think she
spoke in orthodox tlhIngan Hol. (Perhaps the Duras family speaks
a different dialect than the current Imperial dialect in open defiance to
convention.)

It sounds to me like {...chu'Ha'}. It is probably a retake of his line
from the previous scene: {So'wI' yIchu'Ha'.}
Here is what I heard in that scene from ST3. If someone heard something
differently, let me know. Kruge spoke rather clearly, but I had some
trouble understanding some of Valkris' lines. I have written the English
subtitles from the movie in parentheses.
Valkris: Commander Kruge, this is Valkris.
qa'vam De' vIje' rIntaH. HablI' Su', labbeH.
(I have purchased the Genesis Data. Ready to transmit.)
Kruge: Well done, Valkris, well done.
So'wI' yIchu'Ha'.
(Disengage cloaking device.)
De' yIlI'...DaH!
(Transmit data. Now!)
Valkris: jabbI'ID pItlh. Qu'vaD lI' 'e' tu'bej.
(Transmission completed. You will find it useful.)
Kruge: vaj, Daleghpu'...
(Then you have seen it?)
Valkris: HISlaH jawwI'.
(I have, my lord.)
Kruge: Do'Ha'.
(Unfortunate.)
Valkris: jIyaj.
(Understood.)
Kruge: chuyDaH!
(Thrusters.)
Freighter Captain: What the Hell's going on? When will I get paid off?
Valkris: Soon Captain, quite soon.
Qapla' jawwI' bangwI' je.
(Success my lord, and my love.)
Kruge: batlh Daqawlu'taH.
(You will be remembered with honor.)
baH!
(Fire!)
He chu' ghoS. DIvI' neHmaH.
(New course. Federation Neutral Zone.)
yIje'!
(Feed him!)
Crewman: lu' joHwI'.
(Yes, my lord.)
I found it somewhat interesting that Vakris addressed Kruge as {jawwI'}
but the Gunner addressed him as {joHwI'}.
