I have some limiting factors that keep me from the TDK, so essentually, i plan to find a work around for that, which will come from tough examination of TKW and any emails in klingon.

Even assuming you have a complete and accurate vocabulary list, you 
still need The Klingon Dictionary. Despite its name, it is not a 
dictionary. Half of it describes the grammar of the Klingon 
language, detailing how words and affixes come together to represent 
concepts, and how those concepts are arranged to form intelligible 
sentences. You will not get that from a computerized translation 
tool like mu' HaqwI'.
