I need about a page of Latin translated. It's late - 18th century, so no classicisms. I will be Very Grateful (and that's about all I'll do, I'm sorry. They don't pay much on a postdoc's salary).

I hadn't planned on writing about this again after yesterday. The subject is profoundly depressing to those of us needing to compete for declining NIH grant resources with only a 9% chance of success the first time. However, given that Your Friday Dose of Woo will make an appearance tomorrow to…
Another reason it's been quiet around here is that comments haven't been appearing.
This was my fault (though I am innocent of any ill intent), and I apologize with all my heart. What happened was this: I was getting quite a bit of the particularly obnoxious kind of spam that copies other comments…
Eggers and Calegari have an excellent op-ed on the problem of American education: in short, it's the money, stupid.
When we don't get the results we want in our military endeavors, we don't blame the soldiers. We don't say, "It's these lazy soldiers and their bloated benefits plans! That's why we…
Sometimes fractured energies in our planet's noosphere can throw people together who, logically, should never meet. There's no rational reason I should count among my friends the particularly reclusive, Cologne-based science fiction writer and critic Mark von Schlegell; but, lo, kismet, I do.…
I was going to suggest Google Translate, but they have neither Latin nor Strine.
I'm a mere student, and not very good at that, but if no-one else offers, I can do it. goblinpaladin at the gmails.
When do you need it by?
Just a suggestion, why not try usenet group
alt.language.latin
They seem to be pretty helpful there. but prepare for a lengthy discussion about some obscure details ;)
How about posting it?
I did Latin in high school, and I'm sure if you post it, the combined intellect of Scienceblogs could give you an approximation.
just googling 'translate into latin' brought up this free software:

not sure how good it is, but I imagine that it's pretty easy to tell if it sucks (because if it does, it'll give you gobledeegook). if nothing else, you'll get a rough translation + it should be easier for your volunteer to fix it than to start from scratch
Teaching myself but dyslexic so I only use for personal consumption. I had difficulty with some obscure but key correspondance sent to John Ray, did an exhaustive search for a translation came up with zip as I suspect I would. One month later came across what I needed by sheer chance tucked away in an old oxford history of science series of volumes on late 17th century thinkers.
None of the few refrences on the subject refered to a translation.
A rather happy bunny.You never know whats round the corner.
Loquoram Latinam paucam.
I can do some Latin, so long as it does not utilize too many subjunctives...
