You've translated almost all of the words correctly, but it doesn't look
like you have paid any attention at all to Klingon grammar. As such, the
only parts that make sense to a Klingon speaker are the ones where the
English word order happens to match up with the Klingon.
Before trying to translate the game, try a few easier sentences:
I see the targ.
The guard killed the prisoner.
The prisoner escaped.
You cannot see me.
You must activate the transporter.
The shuttle exploded.
