Translate into Latin? - 01/22/08 09:11 PM
Hello,
My family is updating our coat of arms/family crest, and we've never had a quote or motto except on our Scottish side. Is there anyone here relatively fluent in Latin? I already got a translation from someone else, but I wanted a second opinion just in case.
"Everything should be taken in moderation, including moderation."
He/she came up with:
"Omnia moderate accipiendum, sic item moderatio."
Is this pretty close? I know translations aren't perfect, but as long as you can get the general meaning.
Thanks,
oP
