Google Translate, a service that can instantly translate entire web pages or chunks of text in to another language, has added Latin to its list.
Google Translate supports more than 50 languages, including minority languages such as Welsh and Haitian Creole, and the addition of Latin is sure to please scholars and traditionalists.
In a blog post, written entirely in Latin, Jakob Uszkoreit, a senior engineer at Google, said that Latin was far from a “dead language”.
“There are many Latin language learners,” he wrote. “Over 100,000 American students take the National Latin Exam every year and many more learn Latin all of the world. And there is a wealth of information originally written in it.”
He said that while Google recognised that the Latin translation tool would rarely be used to decipher emails or captions on YouTube videos, it would enable web users to read many of the crucially important philosophical and scientific texts originally written in this language.

Is it useful? Cacatne ursus in silvis?
Or his cage.
Why does every translation end with the sentence “Microsoft delenda est”?
“Don’t Tread on Me!” translates as: “Non calcare me”
A LITERALLY correct translation, I suppose, but somehow I don’t think it conveys the real meaning of the phrase.
LOL That was good !!!

As they say at Boston College, Hec acedum Zambonus.

Punch in “pro multis” and send the translation to the Vatican.
