I would like to find a phrase that would be used after helping someone in an endeavor. It doesn't have to be 'you are welcome' exactly but something along those lines.
Any help would be appreciated.

The standard answer to qatlho' {"Thank you."} appears to be qay'be' {"It's not a problem."}
...unless, of course, it was a problem, in which case I'm guessing a Klingon would acknowledge the thanks by responding something like jIyaj[/i] {"I understand."} or maj {"Good!"}.

Thank you for your help it is greatly appreciated.

I needed the phrase to be something longer when translated. If you would be so kind as to translate something else. Something along the lines of
'It's not a problem, my dearest friend' or  'kindred spirit'

qay'be', wIj jup

qay' be a problem
-be' not
wIj my
jup friend

NOTE: "my friend" would normally be jupwI', but Marc Okrand took the stupid phrase wIj jup written by some Paramount writer who just looked up the words in the Klingon Dictionary but didn't know how to combine them, and "canonized" it to mean "my dear friend/my bosom buddy", etc.

That is perfect. Thank you.
