I would suggest {yay} instead of {charghlI'ghach}, unless you really need to 
stress the difference between victory and conquest.  (I suspect there's not 
much of one for a Klingon.)

In addition, {cha'maH wa'DIch} is missing from the translation.  (Perhaps 
21Dich would work if you need to keep it short.)
