Is the following sentence in Latin: 'Traducerea este perfecta termenii sunt corect selectati'?

I think it's Romanian. Something to do with translation. Aug 27 06, 7:55 AM

Sunt is probably a third person plural verb so it might mean The translation is perfect.The endings are chosen accurately. Aug 27 06, 9:13 AM

I suppose it means "The translation is perfect. The words have been chosen correctly". Aug 27 06, 9:41 AM

Not Latin but fascinating that Romanian is still so closely related. I heard some Romanians in a pub and could understand them because they sounded as though they were speaking Latin! Aug 27 06, 10:06 AM

It looks like SUNT means "I am" Romanian Sunt vegetarian [male]/ vegetariana [female] (I am a vegetarian) http://content.onlineagency.com/c/4/4263/1374386_4263.htm Aug 27 06, 10:55 AM

Sunt means both "I am" and "They are", and perhaps in this case it is there to conjugate the verb "choose" (have been chosen). http://www.verbix.com/cache/webverbix/5.fi.shtml Aug 27 06, 11:21 AM

So then the sentence probably means: "The translation is perfect and we are all vegetarians which makes us all correct in the end." :) Aug 27 06, 1:27 PM

Interesting, isn't it, that the words for translation and betrayal/falsity/traitor in Romance languages are so closely related? Traduttore, traditore .... Aug 27 06, 4:20 PM
