There are plenty of “live” language translators/dictionaries on-line (babelfish et al), but what about sites for the famous dead language? I’ve searched, but never found one–only folks who will translate stuff for you (for a fee). I don’t want to bother dealing with humans. Give me a cold machine.
Here is a little shareware proggie you can download.
I’ve got a Mac. Thanks, though–I may have my friend try it out.
they’re not all latin translators but this is the Latin section from my bookmarks file - they are all online sources, so Mac/linux/whatever won’t make a difference.

sorry if it’s horrendously long, but some of the others may interest you anyway if you are interested in Latin/Greek.
You are probably better off asking someone around here to do a little translating for you. Translation programs for classical languages are generally terrible.
What kind of material are you dealing with? Virtually all literary Latin has already been translated, so it is just a matter of finding the correct volume.
