English to Latin
Please help with the translation of, "for the one (person) beside me". I have asked this before ... but lost it unfortunately. It is a sentiment of camaraderie and selflessness between people working together to accomplish team goals. I know the Google translation is literal (therefore incorrect), and doesn't embody the concept of the phrase. Thanks.

 * pro homine iuxta me (for the person beside me)
 * pro iuxta me sedente (for the one sitting beside me)
 * pro iuxta me stante (for the one standing beside me)
 * pro socio meo (for my associate)

In most advertisements, The General consistently advertises that the auto insurance company allows customers to get free online quotes on its website without the need to give out any personal information. He also often advertises that customers can get instant proof of their insurance.

The General is often accompanied in his advertisements by a nonspeaking penguin. This penguin does not appear in all advertisements, but The General does.

Translate article: Victor: As many languages as possible (that are listed)
"Victor is a character from the episode "Ready Steady Yeti" of the television series Mona the Vampire. He is the primary antagonist of the episode.

Storyline

Victor was a ski patroller at the ski resort owned by Mr. Futtlesnuff. He has a French accent and was very mean to Mona Parker and her classmates when they came to the ski resort, for he said that he does not like children. Before he worked at the ski resort, he had accused Mountain Bill, a previous ski patroller, of cutting down trees in the ski resort without permission, which caused Mountain Bill to be fired and to move far away to a nearby mountain. However, at the end of the episode, it was discovered that Victor was the real person who cut down these trees, along with some lumberjacks that were helping him. After Mona, Lily Duncan, and Charley Bones caught Victor cutting down the trees, they took a picture of him in action. After presenting the picture to Mr. Futtlesnuff, Victor had gotten fired from the ski resort, and Mountain Bill was rehired.

Physical appearance

Victor wears a blue vest, long black gloves, some ski boots, and often either is wearing his skis on his boots and carrying his ski poles in his hands. He has a long nose, a small mustache, and he always wears a pair of glasses above his head."

 * Wikipedians are addicted to capitalisation. I would question this capitalisation rule in Wikipedia (if it exists) because it doesn't make sense to capitalise Arabic (and many other languages) and it also may even cause misreadings, such as t/T, d/D, s/S, z/Z, h/H may be read as different consonants in Arabic. I would write "saʿīd ʿaql" and see if anyone objects. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 22:42, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Regarding capitalization on Wikipedia: In my opinion, Wikipedia should adopt a policy not to use capitalization in transliterations of scripts that don't have capital letters. However, if there is already a contrary policy or precedent, then that is what you should follow. Wikipedia is not Wiktionary. --WikiTiki89 00:20, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Fair enough (re: policies) but I'm aware not of such policies. Editors might just follow their intuition, not policies. There's certainly a problem with Arabic, Hindi, etcetera, to use capitalisations. I would certainly raise it, if I were active in Wikipedia. Precedents shouldn't count, they all can be fixed, a policy - yes but policies can also change when there are enough people opposing it and it's a legitimate concern. For certain languages without capital letters, it's a standard to capitalise names - Chinese Mandarin, Japanese, Korean (they don't have a problem with using capitalised vs lower case letters either). --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:37, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
 * An important distinction for types of transliterations should be also made. "saʿīd ʿaql" is a transliteration of the Arabic spelling and "Saʿīd ʿAql" may be considered an alternative English spelling, if that's the case, then the latter could be capitalised, of course. --Anatoli T.

на суббота / субботу?
This may sound a bit stupid, but are the weekdays (and неделя for that matter) inflected when trying to say 'for Saturday' for example? I ask this because I believe it's normal to say на завтра, which remains unbent, but at the same time I can image this is because завтра has become a rather fixed form. Whatever the answer to this, could someone add the на-'formula' in the list of examples at each day? 82.217.116.224 23:09, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Your question is not stupid at all. The correct form is and . The term  is indeclinable when used as a noun. The preposition  has a lot of usage and may be used with accusative case and locative case (prepositional case). To go away "for" e.g. a week is уезжать/уехать на неделю, when expressing "when" it's the locative case - на кани́кулах (on in / during the (school) holidays but "в" is commonly used in time expressions, not always interchangeable with "на", e.g. в субботу - on Saturday. --Anatoli T.

Russian
Is it correct to translate 'the house was built by workers' as 'дом строится работниками'? Also, when you want to say for example 'a stone as a symbol', is it okay to say 'камень как символ', or has this something to do with the instrumental case? Thanks in advance. 82.217.116.224 09:05, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * "Дом (был) постро́ен рабо́тниками" is the right translation, if you use reflexive - "дом стро́ился рабо́тниками", then it would mean "the house was being built by workers" (continuous). The translation "ка́мень как си́мвол" is correct, if the thing you compare it with, is also in the nominative. Он твёрдый как ка́мень - as hard as stone but "он пьёт молоко́ как во́ду" - he drinks milk like water, both nouns are in the accusative case. (mobile edit). --Anatoli T.

 * That is pretty close. Or, what a dick you are to create such a crap definition. —Stephen (Talk) 10:41, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

 * This is very confusing; I don’t know what he or she was referring to. The page in question is this one, and the anonymous editor said this in the newly created entry’s summary. I thought that maybe I made an entry that linked to his or hers, but I can’t find it. I thought that maybe he or she was referring to this entry that I recently fabricated, but I didn’t select that definition ex nihilo, I compared the French and Spanish translation for even better, and then inserted the entry. If you can even guess as to what he or she is referring to, you are more than welcome to. I asked this person what his or her problem was, but so far there is nothing but silence. --Romanophile (talk) 12:46, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

 * 1) Persona que tiene por oficio llevar el control de caja y atender los pagos y cobros en ciertos establecimientos (bancos, comercios, etc.).
 * 2) Persona que tiene por oficio cobrar el importe de sus gastos a los clientes de ciertos establecimientos comerciales.
 * Personally, I did not like the second sentence in your definition: El que está en la caja.
 * Other definitions that do not seem too far off are:

 * 1) Persona que trabaja en una caja o recibe pagos.
 * 2) Persona a cargo del efectivo de una empresa o un banco.
 * 3) Un empleado de banco que recibe y paga dinero.

Can I get anyone to translate Such is Life from English to Scottish Gaelic.

I have had a few different things come up.

And I have got this from it

Mar sin = such Tha = is Beatha = life Leithid = such

Any help would be great I'm super confused :/

 * Trying to translate it literally, word for word, probably won't end happily. Look for a Gaelic saying that means much the same thing, such as ’Se mar a tha, mar a bha, mar a bhitheas, literally "That's how it is, how it was, how it will be", which corresponds basically to "C'est la vie" or "That's life/Such is life". —Angr 20:15, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

 * We are not here to do your homework for you. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:33, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * One day I hope to hear of someone returning their Latin homework as "non adsumus labor domi tuus consummare pro te". -- Catsidhe (verba, facta) 21:57, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I hope they don't, because in that case the translator should not be trusted. You've used the nominative where the accusative is used, the infinitive where the subjunctive is used, and IMO consummo and pro te are OK, but I would use perficio or even just plain ago instead, and I'd use a dative without a preposition. Sorry, that comes off really harshly, but I mean it as constructive criticism :) —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:18, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * That's fine for telling me that I'm wrong, but if it's clear that I don't have an adequate grasp of the grammar, just telling me that I'm wrong doesn't help much.
 * Can you point me to where and how I've messed it up?
 * Yes, I am aware of the contextual irony.
 * -- Catsidhe (verba, facta) 04:21, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It's way more ironic than you know, because I tutor in Latin. I'm admittedly bad at it, but my understanding is that one ought to point out mistakes instead of rewriting — am I wrong? I'd like to improve my pedagogy.
 * In any case, here's my version: Non adsumus laborem tuum domus tibi perficiamus. Should I explain my changes? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 04:35, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I would certainly appreciate annotation. Maybe it's just the way my brain works, but I need to know how something works. If I already have an idea that something's wrong, then "you're wrong" can sometimes be enough. But if I have worked it out and am convinced that I'm not obviously wrong, then I need a more concrete pointer: this is wrong, and it is actually an instance of that pattern. Being told that I have the wrong pattern doesn't of itself help, without at least a hint how to find what the right pattern is.
 * My reading was along the lines: labor domi = "work of the house" (for want of a better translation) -> labor domi tuus" = "your ..." -> consummo labor... = "I complete ..." -> consummare labor ... = "to complete ..." -> non adsum consummare ...'' = "we are not here to ..."
 * -- Catsidhe (verba, facta) 04:53, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Let's see... "work of the house" is the sort of jocular calque I often make, I have no problem with that, but domūs is a lot more suggestive of the genitive to me that the (usually locative, although correct) domī. The labor is a direct object of whatever verb you use for "to do", the sort of thing that's accusative by nature. The complementary infinitive (is that what it's called? My terminology is suspect when it comes to English.) is really a peculiarity; the Latinate way of looking at it is not "to do your homework" but "that we may do your homework", id est the present active subjunctive. Generally, if something sounds right (maybe a little archaic or even KJV-ish, like "If he be king") as a subjunctive in English, it must be a subjunctive in Latin. That rule of thumb works well for me, although I will often opt for the indicative when I can (like indirect discourse) simply because it flows faster. The benefactive dative (dativus commodi) is certainly unnecessary, it just comes closer to what a Roman might say. A quick Google shows that de:Dativus commodi has a good explanation for it if you can read German, but I suppose you can Google it for yourself. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:10, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * "the Latinate way of looking at it is not "to do your homework" but "that we may do your homework"" -- That's what I was missing. That and dativus commodi. Gratias tibi ago.
 * You can always email me if you have Latin questions that you think I'm capable of answering; I'm quite fallible but I do try. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:49, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

translation into latin
i need "fate loves the fearless" translated into latin.

thanks

 * How about Fortuna favet fortibus? It's an actual Latin proverb (not something just translated into Latin off the cuff) which literally means "Fortune favors the brave", which ought to be close enough. —Angr 22:06, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm moving the following from an unwanted entry:

 * I wrote you and have not received an answer, neither you nor Jessica. I just hope y’all are okay, well, I'm fine. Thanks for everything. Let me know if you talked to the lawyer and if you got the money and the truck whether or not for me to write to the fucking lawyer and the fucking court that’s charging me, the court is robbing me blind, how nice. Shelly, I’m waiting for your reply and sorry for the inconvenience. May God bless and protect you. Beware of those that have premiered. —Stephen (Talk) 05:23, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Poem to Latin (Portuguese and english versions)
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this translation? It's my favorite poem and I wanted to tattoo the first stanza in latin:

http://www.tabacaria.com.pt/portuguese/F_Pessoa/Tabacaria/Tabacaria.htm

I am nothing. I shall never be anything. I cannot wish to be anything. Aside from that, I have within me all the dreams of the world. (English)

Não sou nada. Nunca serei nada. Não posso querer ser nada. À parte isso, tenho em mim todos os sonhos do mundo. (Portuguese)

Thanks.

 * Nihil sum
 * Nihil ero
 * Non possum mihi quaerere quisquam esse
 * Si non iste, teneo in mihi somnia mundi omnia.

 * Some comments:

 * You've translated the second line as if it said "I shall be nothing", but that's different from "I shall never be anything." I would advise that the second line be Numquam quisquam ero.
 * Fair point.
 * I think that the construction in the third sentence is awkward, if not incorrect. Certainly it feels wrong to me. I think the cleanest solution would be Non possum quaerere ut sim quisquam.
 * Frankly, I'd be surprised if it wasn't. The two infinitives certainly seemed clumsy even as I was writing them. That certainly seems a better solution.
 * As for the last sentence, only me can follow in. The dependent clause doesn't make sense to me; I would advocate for an ablative absolute. On the whole, for the last sentence I think the best translation would be Illo excepto, in me omnia somnia mundi habeo.
 * This line I had most trouble with. Although I though "If not that" was not unreasonable. I used teneo rather than habeo following the Portuguese tenho. -- Catsidhe (verba, facta) 04:06, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Feel free to take offense with any of my corrections, argue with them, or what have you. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 03:55, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Re last line: It seemed to me that you were paying some attention to the Portuguese. It generally makes your writing sound more like Vulgar Latin; iste for example would be fine in Vulgar Latin thus, but in Classical Latin it has an almost derogatory tone and certainly would not be masculine. That whole clause doesn't make much sense, though — the Portuguese rendering is probably the best that any Italic or Romance tongue could do without the bare ablative. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 04:14, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Does Latin somnium have the same figurative sense as dream (“hope or wish”)? — Ungoliant (Falai) 04:21, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * No, it can mean something closer to or, but for "hope or wish" I'd use plain old . In this case, I feel forced to take the literal translation because I can't be sure of what the author meant; each line is contextless and logically befuddling. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 16:24, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

English Conditional Progressive in Latin
Hello,

Translating "would be" and "would do" is very difficult for me as I cannot find any information on whether the Conditional Progressive tense exists in Latin. I'm assuming at this point that it doesn't, so how would one go about expressing the idea in Latin? I specifically need the verbs in first person singular.

Would I be wrong to use "sum iri" and "faceo iri"?
 * Yes, I think that would be wrong. The most common way of translating conditionals into Latin is to use the imperfect subjunctive, but there are exceptions, so I'd have know the entire sentence you want to translate to be sure. —Angr 17:57, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the swift reply! Let's say I wanted to translate something to the effect of: "War alone knows what I would be without my weapon" I'm certain it is wrong, but I would translate it as "Bellum solum quod sum iri sine meo telo scit"

Please excuse the terrible Latin, I am learning on my own (Using Wheelock's Latin and Dave Grote's UNC notes) and it is only my first week.

- Does personifying war result in any change to its nominative form?

- Is meo telo the correct dative case declention of telum? Is this the correct case to use here for "my weapon"?

- I'm using quod instead of quid here based on an above discussion, is this correct?

- Should I be using punctuation (commas) to separate the "quod sum iri sine meo telo" section?

- Lastly, is the use of sum iri to represent "I would be" correct here?

Thanks!
 * I believe the correct way to say that would be Bellum solum quid sine meo telo sim scit. I know this sounds like awful advice, but I honestly believe that you can't attack Latin all at once. You need to start with the basics and work your way up. Trying to swallow everything at once will only result in frustration and eventual giving up. To answer your questions in order: no, yes (correct for dative) but no (should be ablative), no (look up interrogative adjectives vs interrogative pronouns), no, and no. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 13:53, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * To which I would just add that although "my weapon" should be in the ablative rather than the dative, in this case the two are identical, so sine meo telo is still correct. I would also add that this sentence doesn't sound like anything any Latin writer would ever say. The Romans were very literal-minded and would be unlikely to say that war "knows" anything. They'd probably say something much more prosaic like "Through war my nature when I am unarmed is shown" (doubtless using an ablative absolute for "when I am unarmed"). —Angr 14:27, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, guys, that definitely helps. Μετά, I'll take your advice into consideration, as this is probably just my initial enthusiasm for Latin showing. I am translating as much as I can with my current knowledge (which is not much, I'm only on Chapter 7 of Wheelock's), including phrases like the above which I am making up as I go along. On the subject, Angr, you've opened me up to the idea that it is not only speaking differently but also thinking differently. Hopefully reading more classical texts will temper my thought process when speaking in Latin to also think in Latin as well.

Thanks again.
 * Translating into Latin is of course an excellent way to practice your grammar, and as long as your Latin compositions are for no one's consumption but your own, it doesn't matter if they're unidiomatic. But if you have the opportunity to take a class in Latin prose composition in the future (which I strongly recommend if you do), then your teacher and textbook will give you a lot of pointers in "thinking like a Roman" and expressing yourself in Latin the way the native speakers did rather than the way English speakers express themselves in English. The classical textbook for Latin prose composition in the English-speaking world is Bradley's Arnold Latin Prose Composition; you can't do better than that. But wait until you're through Wheelock before you start on it or you'll just confuse yourself. —Angr 17:29, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

That's an excellent suggestion, Angr, and I'm very grateful for it. I've managed to find a copy on the Internet Archive, but I don't think it's a good enough quality for perusal anyway, so I may end up having to purchase it. I will definitely keep it in mind for when I am finished Wheelock's Latin; which is going to postpone my getting into Roman classics but at least provide me with a better understanding when I do. If you have any other suggestions as well I would be more than glad to hear them, despite my current level of Latin. I will most likely be pushing as far as I can with this language as it is the base for a lot of literature that I plan on reading.
 * If you wish to create an account and email me, I will be happy to correct your practice sentences or be of help. As an autodidact myself, I appreciate people who try to learn languages as difficult as Latin without even having a teacher. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 22:31, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the offer, Μετά. I've created an account and will be sure to remember the offer when I run into any confusion or when I require any further explanation on a particular idea. Thanks! Now I just have to work on getting a mind for wiki markup ;) —Pendergraft

Hi, can you translate this from latin to english?
"Tempore imperatoris Augusti urbs Roma pacem grate salutabat et imperium principis leviter accipiebat. Etsi Augustus omnem fere potestatem aperte sumebat, tamen artem, architecturam litterasque fortiter incitabat. Augustus mores et consuetudines priscorum Romanorum renovare cupiebat. Optimos poetas scriptoresque imperator colebat et propterea multi pulchrius quam maiores ac doctius opera sua creabant. Libri Vergili, Horati, Ovidi temporibus nostris nihilo minus leguntur. Maecenas quoque poetas et artifices maxime omnium fovebat et adiuvabat. Itaque litterae et artes diligentissime in urbe Roma docebantur et colebantur."
