I expect there are several. I've got a rudimentary one myself. The
vocabulary is small enough that it's not difficult for each person to
create his own, and the exercise of doing so is a *great* way to learn
the words. You won't remember all the translations by going through
the vocabulary with a sieve, but you *will* remember that a particular
word exists, and that will help you when drafting sentences in Klingon
rather than translating from English.
There's also a small matter of intellectual property laws that tends to
pop up when we consider lists of Klingon words. It's probably best not
to probe the limits of legality by making available, for free or profit,
material published by Paramount/Simon&Schuster/Pocket Books.
