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.
@calumpang,
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.
@George,
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!
