First, allow me to offer an apology for invading the forum in this way. I'm a long-time crawler and inhabitant of a forum or two elsewhere, and there's nothing more infuriating than some sparky appearing and selling his wares; so to speak.
However, I attempted beforehand to search for a online Forum Romanum, so to speak, where I could invite people who may actually be interested in what I had to say, but alas no luck. So instead, I turn to Latin Forums; probably the closest I can get, right?
In any case, I digress. My point is, I am currently heading up a project, an online game, called Project Earth, set in 200BCE. I am starting off in Italia, the land of the Latins. I've been working on this since... October, last year, was it? Some time around that. I aim to make this game as historically-correct as possible.
What brings me here is I am in requirement of somebody skilled in the tongue of the Latins for translations. Per example, in-game speech of Romans.
Let's say you're a gaul, visitting Rome - and you don't speak a lick of Latin (Your character, at least). When you speak to a roman, he will speak Latin.
Now, same scenario, except you are a Gaul who has the appropriate ability to understand/speak Latin.
Kablam, it translates to English.
I am currently a lone explorer, delving into the world of the Romans, heck the entire history of 200BCE, so if anybody has any knowledge of the Romans, this would also be of great help!
My own research is what is taking the most time. Before I impliment anything, I'll spend as long as it takes to grab at least two, preferably thee sources, in concurrance about the entity in question.
I have a reference book on Roman History (Enthralling read) which stretches from Monarchy to Downfall, and currently a Roman Recipes book in the post, which is suprisingly important, considering players need to eat/cook their own meals!
Oh, and a ton of reference art (Clothing, weapons, etc).
I'm also drowning in maps. Please call the Coastguard.
My thanks for your time, and I look forward to any replies.

I noticed this forum doesn't support the tag, so here are a couple of links to screenshots of Forum Romanum.[/i]
