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.)
