Dear All,
Having spoke to a few members of the site I've officially decided to help with translation into or from Latin (I also do Greek). Let me know if there's any phrases/ army motto you want translating and I'll get on it asap.

Literally 'to die by means of cheese' (since there needs to be some kind of verb).

My Chapter's culture has this esoteric worship and praise of strong emotions of aggression towards enemies. Heck, even my Land Raider is named after that:

Sacred Hatred

Can you translate this?

I personally think the google translator is quite well at it, but someone that knows the language is always better.

Sacred Hatred would be, if I am correct: Sacra Odium

Hah dont get me started with google translate.
Ahh almost, odium is neuter, (sacer) would be sacrum... so Sacrum Odium.

You should really go the past participle route...

Odium Sacratum - Literally 'The Hatred having been made scared.'


Alternatively Invidia Sacrata, is probably more in line with the chapters character 'Spite having been made holy'.

Whichever you like the sound of really.

Eat my shorts = Shorta mea edite (No real latin word for shorts since shorts didnt exist 2000 years ago)
You can go for 'eat my boots' instead = Caligas meas edite!

sunshine, lollipops and rainbows = Apricitas, Melleaque et Arci.
(Improve on the lollipops but you can go for melles.

So, "sh*t happens" is a great phrase. So great that we once decided that it would be my chapter's motto.
And as a chapter motto, it of course needs to be in latin so we translated it and got "Fit Mauris". How correct is this?

@the shrouded lord

'ad canes' = to the hounds
You can also have 'canibus' depending on what youre trying to say.

@soomemafia

'Marius fit' works well... but 'Stercus fit' is better.


@The Dwarf Wolf

'Apis humilis' is the ok but humilis means more low in a self depreciative way. 'Apis modestiae' (The Bee of modesty) is better.

GW is fine with bad Latin, why shouldn't we be?

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.
