Transliteration is fine, so long as it's clear that you ARE 
transliterating, and so long as your transliteration does not make 
anybody think it's a canonical transliteration.

You provided an English sentence along with the Klingon, so there was no 
chance of someone thinking {SImItar} was a Klingon word they couldn't find.

Another way to indicate a transliteration is to state it outright:

    SImItar 'oH nuHwIj pong'e'
