translation into latin
Any of you guys know where to get an inscription translated accurately from English into Latin?
My latin is terrible and I don't know anybody who knows any anymore... and it's kind of really important that there are no mistakes or errors in grammar for this one. |
jumpy, Latin is a dead langue sorry to say. ;)

Hmmm.... if it's vitally important to get it right, and if you're comfortable showing it to somebody, I'd suggest trying to find a Latin teacher or professor; you can get an approximate translation online (just Google for "Latin English translation"), but to get the grammar and nuances right, it'd be better to have a human do it.
It's been 15 years since I hic-haec-hoc'd or else I'd volunteer. I know a couple of high school Latin teachers, though, if you get desperate. |
Wow, strangely enough I was looking for exactly the same thing for a T-shirt design I am working on. I was just going to hassle one of my old Classics lecturers at the Uni I work at but if there is an easier way I'm all ears.
It's not that I would have trouble explaining what I want the translation for but I reckon most of those old boys may have trouble understanding the concept of a T-shirt. |
Yeah, if you REALLY want an accurate latin translation your best bet is to see a college language professor.
The userhandle i use for instance is latin. But it has several suffixes, all of which change its meaning. I vaugly remembe seeing somethi like this: Duci Duco Ducimus etc, theres alot of conjegations in serveral forms. Look at this site for an idea: http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexi...atin/lat08.txt I dare say y our not going to get a 100% accurate translation from an online translator. |

good translator that bradclark1 :up:
@ Ducimus SNAP! - that was the first site I looked at :lol: Having been here http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/Latin/ looking for the individual words themselves, as context can alter the meaning, but I wasn't sure of the grammar etc. That one from brad seemed to do the job nicely. I guess all I have to do now is check the result with somebody who actually understands latin propperly :D |
