Latin online translator?

Where can you find a good free online Latin to English translator?

  • Answer:

    I always use 'William Whitaker's Words' whenever I am away from my Latin dictionary. I have provided a link to it in the proper section. Flat answer - there is no such thing. They are all essentially worthless for anything. None of the translators for Latin online give anything close to a decent translation going either way. There are too many instances where you must know the context before choosing one of the four or five possible word choices. Other problems seem to arise from the high degree of inflection in Latin - the translators just do not seem to get case and number right, and the verbs are just as bad, especially the subjunctive. Seems like the translators assume all is indicative, first person singular, present. This is probably compounded by Latin's lack of fixed word order. The net result is you get a bunch of nouns and verbs that may or may not be in context, and you still don't know who did what with which to whom when.
