Heh, yes, it is a Latin to English dictionary and parser - more useful
to those who want to translate Latin than to those who want it
translated for them. Thank you, however, for your willingness to test
the build.
To be honest, I'm not even aware of a good Latin to English
full-sentence translator. There is
http://www.translation-guide.com/free_online_translators.php?from=Latin&to=English,
but it seems to do a lousy job of the translation. Likely this is
because the meaning of Latin depends so much on inflection (rather than
word order) and grammatical forms often overlap.
