For all you latin experts out there

'A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.'

Thank you

That's going to make one hell of a big tatoo!

I may end up shortening it, if i actually get it that is

I thought the trend was for sanskrit tats.

Thank you

I would cross reference your translations quite a bit and use a linguistic studies forum perhaps instead. Otherwise you may wind up with; People dream themselves horseface mundane giving strong escape beautiful.

google search "English to Latin translator" might be a place to start

A translator would probably be no good as it will translate it verbatim and certain things that sound good in one language (Your quote in English) may not sound all that good in another language (In this case Latin). I know this is the case with ther various languages I speak. Unfortunitly I do not know much Latin to help you. What I can suggest is if you can find someone who actually can speak Latin and have them assist in a translation, it will do your translation into Latin a world of good. Perhaps you can seek help from a local Catholic priest. It is compulsory for all Catholic priests to learn Latin as that is the International language of the Roman Catholic Church thus if a given priest speaks Latin, he would be able to help in assistanting you in a translation.

Google translator is usually successful at translating some languages like English,German or Spanish

I translated it to Spanish by using Google translator.Maybe another translator can translate it into Latino without mistake.

"Un caballo es la proyección de los sueños de la gente acerca de sí mismos - fuerte, poderoso, bello - y tiene la capacidad de darnos o escapar de la existencia mundana.

Wouldn't "I liek ponys because they make me smile" be simpler?

I have spoken Latin exactly once in my life when Latin was the only language the both of us had in common. And it was very hard to communicate since Latin is not usually 'spoken' at all - these days you read, translate, interpret Latin, you don't speak it.

When was that? When you were in Romania trying to by some Byzantine era shackles to furnish your basement dungeon?
