As far as I can tell, there is no way to say "The infinite number of" in
Klingon. May I suggest saying "mughato' Hoch". Or, since the point you
really want to make is that any mugato can say something in Klingon better
than Paramount, I would just say,
mughato' tlhIngan Hol QaQ law' Paramount tlhIngan Hol QaQ puS
or if their ability to write is important to you, maybe we can assume you
mean "in Klingon" since we are writing in Klingon...
mughato' ghItlhlaHghach QaQ law' Paramount ghItlhlaHghach QaQ puS
