I found more information on the cut scenes:
Eagle-eyed Star Trek fans will note the name Mark Okrand among the
film's credits when it debuts on May 8: Okrand is the linguist who
created the Klingon language in the movies. [...] But you won't
hear any actual Klingon in the film, co-writer Alex Kurtzman told
SCI FI Wire in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Sunday.
"We actually had a sequence that ended up getting cut from the movie
that took place on Rura Penthe, in a Klingon prison," Kurtzman said,
explaining the deletion. "And there was definitely Klingon spoken in
the movie, and it ended up getting cut."
Rura Penthe, as fans know, is the Klingon prison colony on an ice
world, which was first featured in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered
Country. Images of Nero in the prison - and the line "The wait is
over" - are featured in the trailer but do not appear in the movie.
In J.J. Abrams' Star Trek, the Rura Penthe scene was meant to
explain where the villainous Nero (Eric Bana) has spent a couple of
decades in the story.

Let's hope they'll restore the scene - and Mark Okrand's {tlhIngan Hol} dialogue! - in the director's cut of the DVD. "Eagle-eyed" Klingonists should keep an eye out for this and let us know.
