Hello, tilk, and welcome to the Forums!

My name is ngabwI', and I field many of the Klingon language-related questions 'round these parts.

I will guess that you've yet to find the Requests for Translation section. I stalk that area, and try to give prompt responses to requests posted there.

On to your question...

How would you say and write, in Klingon, the title, "The Watch" (as in those who watch)?
This is fairly easy.

{bejwI'pu'} "Watchers" (if the watchers are capable of using language)

{bejwI'mey} is appropriate if the watchers cannot use language. (If it's an animal, a creature, a giant stone sentinel, etc. This also works if there are many language-using watchers all over the place, like a "Big Brother"-type thing.)

As for "the Klingon fonts", your use of the definite article ("the") throws me off. There are several fonts available freely on the web that will enable you to write in pIqaD, if you know the mappings. You can acquire "Klingon.ttf" here. (The link will take you to my downloads page. Simply click on the name of the download to begin.)

Hope this helps, and if I've only muddied the waters, let me know that, too.
