Hi,
Before I even ask my questions, I'd like to commend you on how amazing it is that you produce such accurate translations for random strangers! You're wonderful.
Two questions: first, I saw the 'dévise' (that's French, I can't think of the English word, 'motto' perhaps) 'Terminus Est' somewhere. I was told the translation is: "this is the line of division". Is this accurate? Secondly, how would one translate "I love and I hope" (from the French 'j'aime et j'espere) into Latin?
Thanks in advnace!
Yes, it can mean "this is the line of division" (specifically re Justice, whose sword is called "terminus est"), but it could also, more literally, mean "this is the end."
I love and I hope = amo et spero
