English to Latin

[Lovely_Lauz]

I am hoping to egt a tatoo on my foot of one of my favourite phrases, however I would like it in Latin. Does anyone know how and where I could convert this phrase?

[meglet]

I would post a question in either Phrases and Sayings or Quizzes and Puzzles with the phrase you want and someone will translate it into Latin for you.

I have a Collins dictionary which converts latin into english and back.
But I would imagine there are some sites on the net that could do the same. Look in Google.

In fact heres one.

translating it word by word may not help as the grammar is different. You may need a proper classics scholar to translate the whole phrase

Translation websites are generally pretty useless. I went to the one Tigerlily provided a link to above and entered the SAS's motto, 'Who Dares Wins'. It came back wth 'Quisnam praesumo wins'! That's right, the word 'wins' was still in English and, in addition, 'praesumo' means 'I dare' and not 'he dares', which is the form it should take.
Phone your local secondary school and find out if they have a Classics Department or even just a single teacher of Latin. If they do, try to get in touch. Failing that, approach the local Catholic priest for help. They - certainly the older ones - will usually be familiar with Latin.
In my experience of such requests as yours here on AnswerBank, I'd advise you to take no notice of an 'answer' that is unsupported by more expert opinion, as J suggests...especially if it is going to end up indelibly printed on your skin!

PS This is not a criticism of you, Tigerlily!
