Latin translations
Cicero's tongue, converted
Latin translations are renderings of text from or into the Latin language.
The phrase typically refers to translations of ancient Latin works into modern languages—Virgil, Cicero, Ovid rendered into English—or historically significant translations into Latin, such as the Vulgate Bible.
Students of Latin frequently work with facing-page editions showing the original and translation side by side: I compared three different Latin translations of the Aeneid.
