Hello, could somebody kindly help me translate a short english phrase into latin?
When i put the phrase into an automatic online translator from english to latin it gives me a translation but when i put that translation back into the same trnslator to go from latin to english, it doesnt match the original english phrase. Hmmm.

Here it is:
Colour is the keyboard. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano with its many strings.

I am using the word for "piano" found in the Vatican's Lexicon Recentis
Latinitatis
. I can find no word for "keyboard" so I am using "key".

Color clavis est. Oculus malleus est. Anima clavicymbalum cum multis chordis est.

hi, George, how are you doing? You seem to know Latin rather well, so I thought I would just ask you for help directly - I am trying to translate "Do not blame others for your own mistakes" into Latin. Any help greatly appreciated!
