I saw that one.
I have two explanations:
a.) Some writer figured most of the people who watch Frasier don't speak
Klingon, and so decided to just fudge something.
b.) I heard that before Marc Okrand came along, some Trekkies made up
their own version of Klingon. (which has now been rendered pretty much
obsolete.) Maybe the writer used that.
