<<*subject* mImughlaHbe' 'e' muberghmoH>> vIja'Ha'

Okay, I get the lack of a "sentence as subject" construction.  But I don't 
understand your objection to {muberghmoH} -- doesn't that mean "it causes me to
be irritable?"  Let my rephrase my complaint:
{*subject* mImughlaHbe'mo' muberghmoHlu'.}
I guess if I'm not using "I can't translate it" as a subject, I probably should
make /myself/ the subject. {*subject* mImughlaHbe'mo' jIberghmoH.  Dub'a'?}

<<De'wI' muchwI' ja'lu'pu'>> vIja'chu'be'
"Someone has reported a computer's translator."  Is this another word-order problem?
{ja'lu'pu' De'wI' muchwI'} then.  "A translator has been reported."
Oh! Oops! May I say {Hivqa' veqlargh}?  {"mugh" vIjatlh vIHech. lughbe'bej "much".}
