[Tlhingan-hol] West Wing

[Robyn Stewart]

I'd walk away from a literal translation and call it 'amerIqa' Qang yaH or the like. Once it stops being a familiar phrase denoting the seat of power, it stops being a useful title.  Look at a few translations of English movie titles and you'll see many that go further afield than that.
