OK so I'm planning on getting another tattoo and I'm greek so I'm really into latin and all that ancient stuff and I heard a quote that really goes along with my anxiety and everything so I want to make sure that I have it correct. The quote is, "for every dark night there is a brighter day." now I have gotten the same translation at all the sites I go to to translate but I just wanted to be sure so anybody that speaks latin please help!

No one speaks Latin, and, as far as I've seen, no one on this site is able to translate Latin. I had three years of it in high school, but that was 1,000 years ago.

Call your local library and ask a reference librarian for help in double-checking, or call an area college and ask if there's a Latin teacher on the faculty.

Yeah I know it's a dead language but there has to be somebody that can speak it.

No one SPEAKS it.

Like I had said, check with an area college or university for a professor who teaches Latin or, say, in a theology department, will have studied Latin and Greek and Hebrew, and will know how to translate English into Latin. A Catholic priest or a Lutheran minister should know enough Latin to help you.

I would not trust an online translator or online translation, not if I'm planning to wear the words on my body for the rest of my life. Also, "for every dark night there is a brighter day" are a lot of words, even in Latin, for a tattoo.

I'm in high skool and we have to take latin to graduate but I don't know that translation sorry
