My alma mater’s motto is “Manu et mente.” Students used to translate it as “Manure and Minties” (Minties being a kind of Australian candy), but I thought a more literal translation would be “Act now, think later.”
My high school’s motto was “Remis velisque.” My translation of that was “With belt and braces.”
That one is often a mistranslation, too, at least when you see it in novels and movies. It’s often used as the translation of Hand to Hand (combat) - which in Spanish should be (combate) Sin Armas.
