Parle vous francais? :wink:

Sorry mate, I don't know any latin myself. You might wanna try this site though:

or

http://www.nd.edu/~archives/latgramm.htm

Don't know if that helps or not.

I only had latin 2 years at school, and I don't remember much of it anymore :)

But I have some friends with 4 years of latin, what's the phrase you want to have translated? I'll see if they can translate it :)

My sister speaks Latin fluently, but she's a few thousand miles away right now and is not in the habit of answering her email.

Marina has a smattering of church Latin, but she's away right now.

What phrase do you want translated, anyway? Does it really have to be written in a way that prevents anyone from understanding it?

I could possibly translate it, as long as its not too complex.

You could try PMing Publius. He knows quite a bit of Latin.

The only latin I know I was taught by one of the advisors at the UW:

Illegitmus non carborundum

(don't let the bastards get you down)

How about one of Caesar's quotes, you probably already know it

veni, vidi, vici- I came I saw I conquered

or depending on if your a star wars, star trek fan

Carthago delenda est Carthage must be destroyed,

or star wars/trek must be destroyed, etc
