Well, this certainly doesn't have any place but under the "general prop discussion" classification, or should I say imperator firmamentum sermo.

It is a language translator that includes Latin, which many don't have capability for. Now, you can customize some creepy Latin for your stones, crypts, and trinkets.

Not knowing any Latin at all, it is handy for me; but I would suspect (given the verbal intricacies of the language) that it is far from Caesar's own tongue!

(note - Latin is the last language shown on the pull-down scroll menu)

I took 4 semesters of Latin in college. Very difficult. Can't remember any of it now!

Thanks for the link.

There is also this reference, but the translator is more fun...

It will be interesting to see what inscriptions people come up with!

This is very cool. This will make my tomb of the undead even better.

And the only people who will catch the mistakes in your inscriptions will be priests and pharmacists!

Thats a great site Hellvin, I've used it quite frequently in the past when working on stories for RPGs - either for magic or subplot elements. It tends to lag when you make too many translation requests. It's not always accurate (no electronic translator is) and tends to mangle the tense on some words or not be able to find other words (not that I've taken or studied any latin so I could be wrong). But then again like Rev said - no one will know the difference except priests and pharmacists.
