But is that the goal? Why translate anything into Klingon if the goal is 
to communicate clearly with the public?

Clear communication is not the reason we make studying Klingon our 
hobby. Yes, you want to communicate clearly when you use Klingon, but if 
the goal were simply clear communication, you'd do better to use 
English, which everyone on this list (presumably) speaks. Or some other 
natural language you have in common.
