I need a quick translation into latin for a work T-shirt, Ideally by tommorow.
Something along the lines of "In blood there is life".
I work in what is essentially a Bloodbank at the moment so this has absolutely nothing to do with Vampires, or Goths.

Do not underestimate the Squats. They survived for millenia cut off from the Imperium and assailed on all sides. Their determination and resilience is an example to us all.
-Leman Russ, Meditations on Imperial Command book XVI (AKA the RT era White Dwarf Commpendium).
Its just a shame that they couldn't fight off Andy Chambers.

No one will get it. People don't appreciate latin.

Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?

I have a feeling it should be 'In sanguine vita est', as the verb should in theory go at the end. That said, there is an argument that this does not apply to the verb 'to be' (is= 'est'), and I've seen it done both ways in various textbooks and sources.

In a simple phrase like that the word order means diddlysquat. However, it is common practice to put the verb at the end.
The literal translation of "in sanguine vita est" is "life is in blood", which is good enough for a motto.

Note to the reader: my username is not arrogance. No, my name is taken from the most excellent of commanders: Lord Castellan Creed, of the Imperial Guar- I mean Astra Militarum - who has a special rule known only as "Tactical Genius"... Although nowhere near as awesome as before, it now allows some cool stuff for the Guar- Astra Militarum - player. FEAR ME AND MY TWO WARLORD TRAITS. |

Actually, the "est" in itself is completely unnecessary in that sentence. Compare "in vino veritas".
So, "in saguine vita" is fine, or "IN SANGVINE VITA", if you want to keep it 100% authentic.
EDIT: Just to clarify, using "est" wouldn't make it wrong, it just technically doesn't add anything. If you do want to use it because it sounds better to you, be aware that it emphasizes the word it follows, so it comes out as either
in sanguine est vita = in BLOOD, there is life
or
in sanguine vita est = in blood, there is LIFE
Hope that helps.
