I have a phrase I need accurately translated into Latin. Any of you folks know Latin, or know someone who does? I am getting differing results depending on which online translator I use.

Any Latin scholars?

It’s been a while so if you can find someone else that keeps up with it, try them first. It’s definitely something you have to keep up with since there are so you have cases, tenses etc. But if not I can try and help you. During my 6 years learning it, I also learned google translate along with all the others are never accurate.

So hopefully this helps. I’m 100% sure on the meanings of the words, but 80% on the grammar. For every Latin translation the verb in the phrase is assigned to the subject. You don’t have a subject so the translation will assign a pronoun if someone tries to translate it due the ending. I did a couple for you. If you need one for We or They I can figure those out too.
He/She/It Trains to fight, He/she/it fights to win.
Exercet Pugnare, pugnat vincere
You Train to Fight, You fight to win
Exerces Pugnare, Pugnas Vincere
I Train to Fight, I Fight to Win
Exerceo Pugnare, Pugno Vincere

If it’s this hard to find the answer then who the hell is ever going to call you on it???
I would go with “Shoostus Firstivus, Shoostus Oftenus, Shoostus Accuratus”
