[Tlhingan-hol] qIHpu'ghach wa'DIch - 'ay' wa'

[Felix Malmenbeck]

majQa'!

For "Resistance is futile", I might suggest something like SuHub'eghlaHbe', lo'laHbe' Hub or lo'laHbe' Hub'eghghach.

I enjoy referring to the Borg as *janyIn (like jatyIn, but mechanical). Of course, that's highly non-canon, and even if it were canon it'd probably be a colloquialism. Since the Klingons likely first heard of the Borg from the Federation, it's likely they'd call them Borg or *bor'Iq or *borgh or something.

> povam, Ivor wa' mIDmaj Qaw'lu'
I believe the most correct way to say "this morning" as a time element is DaHjaj po, but povam should be fine, as well.

> tagha' narghpu' wanI' vIHajbogh qaStaHvIS jav DIS
Rather than nargh, I'd recommend something like tagh (of which wanI' vIHajbogh could be either the subject or the object, depending on if you wish to imply agency) or qaS[choH] (or even qaSchoHmoHlu').
One might also consider restructuring it to avoid the "-taHvIS in a -bogh":
wanI'vam vIHaj qaStaHvIS jav DIS, 'ach tagha' tagh. [I have dreaded this event for six years, but suddenly it begins.]

> Borg'e' - jaghma''e' chaH Qob law' Hoch Qob puS - DIvI' luyot 'e' lutagh.
Very good rephrasing of "The Borg - our most lethal enemy"!
That being said, I might recommend something like jaghma''e' Borg Qob law' Hoch Qob puS, 'ej DaH DIvI' luyotchoH.

Following on from De'vID's lead, I've decided I may as well present my First Contact subtitles here too. Hopefully it'll inspire someone else to join in the captioning fun on another movie or even just an episode (and believe me, it is fun), and at the same time, if anyone has any comments or suggestions for corrections that'd be great as well.

[1] Because we do have {janluq pIqarD} in canon I've used the Klingon version.
[2] Yep, I know the {-meH} clause is at the wrong end here. One of the idiosyncrasies of having to synchronise the translation to a spoken sentence.

BORG QUEEN: Locutus...
PICARD: I am Locutus of Borg. Resistance is futile.

ONSCREEN: Incoming transmission

PICARD: Authorisation Picard four seven alpha tango. ...Admiral?
HAYES: Did I catch you at a bad time, Jean-Luc?
PICARD: No, of course not.
HAYES: I've just received a disturbing report from Deep Space Five. Our colony on Ivor Prime was destroyed this morning. Long-range sensors have picked up -
PICARD: Yes, I know. The Borg.

[The ship is displayed]

PICARD: Captain's log, Stardate 50893.5. The moment I have dreaded for nearly six years has finally arrived. The Borg - our most lethal enemy - have begun an invasion of the Federation, and this time there may be no stopping them.

RIKER: How many ships?
PICARD: One, and it's on a direct course for Earth. It'll cross the Federation border in less than an hour. Admiral Hayes is mobilising a fleet in the Typhon sector.
DATA: At maximum warp it will take us three hours twenty-five minutes -
PICARD: We're not going.
RIKER: What do you mean, "We're not going"?
PICARD: Our orders are to patrol the Neutral Zone. In case the Romulans decide to take advantage of the situation.
TROI: The Romulans?
DATA: Captain, there has been no unusual activity along the Romulan border for the last nine months. It seems highly unlikely they would choose this moment to start a conflict.
CRUSHER: Does Starfleet feel we need more shakedown time?
LAFORGE: Captain, we've been out in space for nearly a year now. We're ready. The Enterprise-E is the most advanced starship in the fleet. We should be on the front line.
PICARD: I have gone over all this with Starfleet Command. Their orders stand. Number One, set a course for the Neutral Zone.
