Boxes can indeed appear, offering various options and then the facility disappears as silently as it appeared.

Google does fiddle with Google Translate. Are there texts out there, in which this version of the Latin may be found, with that translation? I tried googling for the two sentences, with no result. What on earth is this, I wonder? It’s fascinating, of course. When he had finished his prayer, he dug a cubit and a half deep in the name of the Lord, and immediately a sufficient abundance of water flowed out.įinita oratione, fodit cubitum ac semissem in nomine Domini, et confestim fluxit aquae copia. Having finished his prayer, he dug a cubit and a half deep in the name of the Lord, and immediately a sufficient abundance of water emanated.įinita oratione, fodit cubitum ac semissem in nomine Domini, et statim emanavit aquarum abundantia. A box sprang up, giving two other versions of the same Latin sentence, both somewhat different from mine, and two English translations of them! Here is what I see this morning:įinita vero oratione, in altum in nomine Domini cubitum et dimidium fodit, continuoque sufficienter emanavit abundantia aquae.

Then, by accident, I clicked on the English of one sentence. It produced a quite decent new-style transation. I pasted into the Latin box part of a medieval miracle story of St Nicholas. About a year ago Google Translate for Latin changed, and started to produce very good translations indeed.
