Please be careful using online automatic translators.
They do not always get the grammar right and will leave unrecognized
English words in place.
You are being euphemistic, George..
I'll be a little more direct:
DO NOT USE ONLINE TRANSLATORS FOR YOUR ENGLISH -> LATIN TRANSLATIONS. EVER.
Aside from maybe single words.
Every single online translation I've seen of a latin phrase has been complete nonsense. We're not talking minor mistakes here, we're talking complete, total, utter junk that native speakers would find incomprehensible, if not downright laughable.
The entire Roman Empire spins in its grave like a top attached to a whirling dervish every time someone gets a tattoo of a latin phrase he got translated online.
