Oddly enough, Latin was used in an early experiment in automatic
language translation.  I had a good bit of Latin in high school (gives
you a hint at how old I am!), and I can assure you it completely
sucks!  It is highly irregular, and has a very limited vocabulary.
Even during Roman times, Greek was used to discuss philosophy.  Latin
is better suited for speeches and talking about military tactics.  In
short, Latin is not a logical language.
