I asked a similar question about a month ago. Here are the responses I got:
jatlh HomDoq:
>*German* Hol Dalo'DI', <<tlhIngan>> mughmeH, "Klingone" (m),
>"Klingonin" (f) ghap yIlo'. DIp latlh DelmeH, "klingonisch" (adj)
>yIlo'. vaj <<tlhIngan Hol>> mughmeH, "die klingonische Sprache",
>"die Sprache der Klingonen", "Klingonisch" ghap yIlo'.
jatlh mark:
>I've seen Clingon in Welsh, but Sami Laitala uses Tllingan, which is much
>cooler: the ll in Welsh is the same sound as the -lh in Klingon tlh.

>I think I once got dunned for not catching the fact that "klingo" in

jatlh Tom:
>Klingon in Spanish has been translated several ways. (klingón;
>klingona) (klingonio; klingonia)
>(klingonés; klingonesa) Personally I use klingonio.
>In Esperanto to adjective form would be klingona.
>As in klingona lingvo (tlhIngan Hol) Klingonano (m)
>Klingonino (f). In German I've seen klingonisch for the adjective. In
>French the use klingon (m) and klingonne (f). I hope that this was
>helpfull.
