Stumbled over this in Gothenburg, Sweden. Made my day.

I took a stab at it. Transliterated, it says: "Qapla'. Qu'Dunvad ghunwl' DlSam." I ran it through Bing's translator (since the only word I recognize is Qapla'), and I got "Success. Your baby better is done." I think the translation is wrong. When I was playing with another translator, it gave me "Success. For the glorious battle has begun" which seems more fitting.

    I believe, since it's a recruitment poster, the translation is "We seek programmers for a great mission."

    • Qu' = mission
    • Dun = to be great
    • -vaD = for
    • ghun = to program
    • -wI' = one who does
    • DI- = we — them
    • Sam = to seek

    Translating the website (search up Castra Sweden), it seems to be an IT consultant/management place (that has a lot of sci-fi references from Star Wars/Star Trek), so this is probably the best and most accurate translation. Good job on your Klingon! You are a glorious warrior, unlike me!

    I'm not getting Sam? The transliteration looks right, but I don't see it in the dictionary.
