    Could anyone help me translate the following which I think is Latin; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tatio.
    I have been looking at having a glass water feature installed in my garden and this was written below one advertised on a web site. I am intrigued as to what it may say.

    		You're dealing with a "Lorem ipsum" text, used as a placeholder in graphic design sites. It is derived from Cicero's "On the Ends of Good and Evil." There are variations, but the site below will help you translate it. Scroll down to "History and Discovery":

    		Haven't used it for some time now personally, but that takes me back.... Things that rule out it being true Latin are that -ing ending and the bh combination.
