Mirabile dictu!
I see from this link that they are headquartered in
Tianjin, China, and that their telephone number
in the USA is "716-898-0638".
Hey! That's my very area code!
I'll give them a call right now ...

I got through! I spoke with "Adelle", who sounds
Chinese but speaks English quite well. I noted that her
area code 716 was the same as mine, so we must
be neighbors, but she said, no, she is in Tianjin, China.
(So I reached China with a local call!)
I said I was glad to make her acquaintance, and
wished her well. She we be the first on my list
whenever I have a patent to translate into Latin,
and I bade her "Ave atque vale!"
-- Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY, area code 716)

P.S. In checking the usage of the interjection "ave!",
I find that it is probably of Punic origin. Holy Hannibal!
And on the opposite page, the etymology of "avocado"
says it comes from the Aztec (Nahuatl) word for "testicle".
Tamdiu discendum est, quamdiu vivas (Live and learn).

The more I think about this, the more struck I am by the
realization that Adelle's company has carved out for itself
a unique, lucrative niche in the world translation market.
Who else is doing this? Not even the Vatican.

Somewhere in Tianjin, China is a busy scriptorium
http://www.per.marine.csiro.au/staff/Fabio.Boschetti/images/scriptorium_1.lg.jpg
full of cowled Chinese monks preparing illuminated manuscripts
of ISO manufacturing specs, software manuals, and
high-tech patents -- any maybe even some poetry like
渓へだつ朴の一樹の年々に育ちて家よりさはの花見ゆ.
The translation business is being transformed.
O tempora, o mores.

It's a natural fit. All roads lead to Rome, and as anybody that grew
up watching bugs bunny knows, any hole that's deep enough exits in
China. A perfect intersection of all travel on the earth. All that's
left is to discover the Niagara connection (area code 716 shows up as
far west NY state including Niagara).

I looked at their advertisements for services in other languages, and it seems that they just use the same boilerplate in every case, just changing the name of the language.

For a similar phenomenon, see Rosetta Stone's CD-based Latin course:

http://www.rosettastone.com/learn-latin

I am told:

"Build a foundation and navigate your surroundings. Learn fundamental Latin vocabulary and essential language structure from greetings and introductions to simple questions and their answers. Gain the confidence to talk about your environment such as giving and getting directions, telling time, dining out, shopping, and enjoying basic social interactions."

It is reassuring to know that I can prepare if anyone asks me to time-travel to ancient Rome.

Well, it is not translation, and it is not a company,
but I've just jeard about some folks who meet once
a week in a pub and discuss issues of daily life
in Latin.

I knew a couple of classicists (as in "married couple") in Russia who spoke Latin at home to their kids, who spoke it fluently. I met the kids once, when they were about 5 and 3, and they babbled away in Latin. The older son spoke Russian, because he was already in school, but the younger son spoke nothing but Latin, so the older son translated for me.

Very weird experience.

During my third year of Latin in college, I took a course on Virgil's Aeneid, and one day the professor tried to get the lot of us to chat in Latin. He could do it quite well. I was dumbstruck. Very impressive. I had thought the talent was reserved to aging Jesuits.

Needless to say the rest of us were reducing to incoherent mumbling of "salve", "vale", "quo vadis?" and the like.

The Cambridge Latin Course, now widely used in the UK wherever Latin is
taught, uses the direct method. Each chapter uses situational
illustrations with dialogue, and all descriptions, comments, questions
and answers are in Latin. It is basically a reading course, and aims at
getting teens reading lightly edited 'real' Latin in about three years.
It comes in small packages, each with its theme and background, and
assumes that the students start at about 12 and subsequently grow up.
So Book One, in Pompeii, gives a 12-year-old's view. A year or two
later, in Britannia, we can agonize with the chieftain who is faced
with selling out to the Romans or possibly losing everything.

It was pioneered in the 1960s as the Nuffield Latin Course, and I was
following developments with interest in Singapore. After returning to
the UK in 1968 I signed up for the first available intensive course for
teachers, and the following year started it in the school where I was
Head of Classics. The whole idea is to slip in the grammar under the
net, at the level where we all have our own internal grammar (Noam
Chomsky was very much in vogue in those days). I was entirely sold on
it, though it required a lot of private work on my part.

Online, in the 1990s in Japan I joined the Grex Latine loquentium
(though mainly 'latens') but it seemed to peter out around ten years
ago. A few years ago I had a private student, a bright Japanese boy
moving up to English prep school, and geared up again -- but this time
I found it very difficult to teach him in Latin, being valde out of
practice.
