Can someone help translate the following into Latin :

"Aries wants you for the Roman Army. You can quickly learn skills you will use for the rest of your life. Do you have what it takes to serve your country?"

Thank you

Aries ("The Ram") is the first sun sign in the zodiac. I don't think you want that.

Ares was the Greek god of war.

Mars was the Roman (Latin) god of war.

Now, tell us which name you want to use!

May I ask what this is for?

If you still need this:

"ARES TE EXERCITU ROMANO DESIDERAT. CELERITER ARTES QUIS IN TOTA VITA UTERIS DOCERE POTES. HABESNE QUAE REQUIRUNTUR UT PATRIAM IUVAS?"

Literally, "Ares wants(/needs) you for the Roman army. You can quickly learn the skills which you will use for your whole life. Do you have what is needed to serve your homeland?"

Hey, editinspire, how about an annual gratuity for caudex and Wondergirl from the proceeds from the computer game?

Just kidding--more like it, how about a link to the said computer game site? Or am I all wrong?

I'm a little leery of the adjectives and nouns especially. The endings don't match. Unfortunate ly, I've forgotten too much in 40 years.
