docoflove1974 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2006 Here comes my rant There are ZERO online translators which are worth even a fart. None seem to be able to translate phrases with any reliability; at best, they can be used to look up a single word, but you really must know the grammar of the languages you're dealing with in order to know what it is that you're getting, and to be able to judge its validity.

FLavius Valerius Constantinus 1 Report post Posted August 29, 2006 Well there aren't any online programs that translates Latin...but there are professional sites on the web that you can pay "legitimate" people who know the language well to do whatever you want...however I won't go into further detail.

Something similar happened last year to a friend of mine with an English to Italian translation... one of the funniest things i've ever heard! And fortunately nobody has ever dared to do such a stupid thing with Latin in my class. At least, you can use the best student as a human-translator... ^_- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
