@skcopple,
The usual translation for "forever" is
in aeternum

@George,
Semper in aeternum or In aeternum semper sounds kind of redundant, though, doesn't it? Even more so than in English.

@Merry Andrew,
Kind of, but not completely.
"Always" has a sense of "every time" or "all the time".
"For ever" (or "forever") has a sense of "going on and on".


At least, that's how I've always looked at it.
