Review for Latin Translator
Translator Review
The translator cannot deal with sophisticated strings of Latin, and it is hard to use it as anything beyond a one-word dictionary. For translations of sentences and anything longer, online translators continue not to work, and (human) professional help needed. A few such sites exist, like 'Classical Turns', although you have to pay for help.

The latin translator is actually not that bad, although you have to put in a few words, the translations come out ok.

The tool is unsatisfactory for even relatively simple Latin sentences, and is further evidence that the world is very far off obtaining a reliable automatic translation for Latin. I still advise students and researchers to go to (human) professionals. Google 'Professional Latin translator' and you get various sites that help (e.g. Classical Turns in the U.K.). I have also heard that Google Translate, which now has Latin, is extremely unreliable for anything over one word.
