The problem, of course, is that with a dead language, intonation, inflection and nuance are completely lost with translators. You won't get anything even close to resembling proper translation of stories, ideas, or sayings. You'll get the gist, but not the feel or flow. As far as Lorem Ipsum, there are a few different views on this, since there are about three widely accepted versions of the "print filler" paragraphs. One follows Cicero quite well, while the other two seem to be derivatives of ancient Greek mixed in with bastardized latin. Check it all out...nice history online, but I'd leave the intensive translating to folks who know latin...not an online translator. Actually...go learn the language..it really was beautiful for its time, and knowing will allow you to appreciate some amazing literature (Alighieri, Catullus, Milton, Homer), unmarred by someone else's translations.
