Uniformity, that's the key. Line uo, fowaaaard march. Screw inovation, to hell with change. Most people haven't done it. Technical language has to be precise and has to remain precise. That's why the medical profession has continued to use latin for so many years. This was not a technical point. Latin sit proprium Lombardie ut convenit mortuis Necavit primum Romanos tunc Necavit magistris Nunc necat English belongs to Lombardy that belongs to the dead It killed the Romans first Then they killed teachers now kills ... what? In any case, we were discusing a technical topic and there was need to be clear about what we were talking. Doesn't that first line translate as: "Latin belongs to Lombardy" I'm sure you are right. I just cut and pasted from Google. Which shows the fault in most machine translation. The back trnslation is all too often ridiculious. This was not a technical point. English belongs to Lombardy that belongs to the dead It killed the Romans first Then they killed teachers now kills Nec hoc interdicto dicendum habeas. Anglicus proprium Lombardie quod pertineret ad mortuis Necavit primum Romani Haec trucidatis doctores nunc occidit Nor does this decision. The Englishman to Lombardy that belonged to the dead It killed the Romans This cut teachers now killed Nec in suos decision. Anglus in Galliam misere quae peculiaris fuit Ioannis mortuis Necavit Romanos Sectionis huius doctores interemtus Neither in his decision. Englishman in Lombardy that belonged to the dead? it killed the Romans Sections of teachers interemtus ... and so on. However, that does not make sense considering your original Latin quote was: " Latin sit proprium Lombardie ut convenit mortuis Necavit primum Romanos tunc Necavit magistris Nunc necat" Here is what Google does with your quote: Umm... not my quote, but your original. Just goes to show you can't trust Google in all things. English belongs to Lombardy that belongs to the dead It killed the Romans first Then they killed teachers Now kills " Anglicus proprium Lombardie quod pertineret ad mortuis Necavit primum Romani Haec trucidatis doctores Nunc occidit " The Englishman to Lombardy that belonged to the dead It killed the Romans This cut teachers Now kills " etc etc So, Google just compounds its mess. Not a single "Anglicus" to be found. Even if "Anglicus" were correct it makes even less sense considering the English had little to do with Lombardy until the grand tours of the Victorian upper class after Napoleon left town. Lombardy was originally Etruscan, and then Lombard. So why "English", they had nothing to do with the region other than as tourists? ....and so, why "English" when it is so obviously the wrong translation of "Latin"? -- Regards, Savageduck |
