Doesn't Babblefish (the site) have a Latin option? Search for "babblefish"
on any search engine. You should be able to find a site that will do the
job for you. Of course, it's probably post period latin. The translations
can be. . . interesting. I translated "We got the beat" into German (don't
ask) and then translated that phrase into English. The result was "We
recieved the impact." Ouch.
