Perhaps DIbotlaHbe', rather than DImevlaHbe'? I think of mev as being for processes.

Rather than DIpoQ, I'd recommend something like pIq. Not sure if one can "require" a travel time in Klingon (though it's certainly not impossible).

I kind of like it. I feel it adds emphasis to the sentence.
For the record, artistic works such as Klenginem's SuvwI'pu' qan tu'lu'be' and the paq'batlh both contain this error, so your work is in the best imaginable company ;)

Can't think of anything else, right now. Wish I could, since I'm desperately trying to avoid doing real work :P

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.
