Is there an old latin translator available on the net?

OLD latin, not "modern" latin. As in the stuff used to write the Bible. I'm looking for a link or download that is available for free. Most languages have such things available but for some reason this one is elusive.|||Your question is conflicting. You ask for an Old Latin translator and then for "biblical" Latin. The Latin that was used by the Holy Roman Church and used for Christian manuscripts was Late and Mediaeval Latin, which is far off from Old Latin because of it's influences from bordering peoples such as the Greeks as well as the normal evolution of Vulgar Latin over a large amount of time. Old Latin generally refers to the time prior to c.75 BC and therefore would not have been used to write the Bible. As for your question about Old Latin translators, I doubt there are many, but if you actually mean Late or Classical Latin, this is what most translators get their sources from.|||I use this online dictionary. There is a download-able version on this site, as well as the online version.
