I would like to translate "One Percent". As in, one percent of the population. It will be engraved on a gift. I would like to place my order today so a prompt response would be appreciated =) So far I have come up with 'Unas Centesimas' but I am not sure if that is correct. Thank you! |

Hello. I'd go with: Unus per centum. The ancient Romans reportedly didn't use percentages, but the format that we see in modern scientific literature is: cardinal number (unus, duo, tres, etc.) + "per centum" Examples: "...(sex per centum) (Keely et al 1994), TATA-colligans proteinus (novem per centum) (Sunkin and Stringer 1995), alpha-subunitas guanini nucleotidi colligantis proteini (septendecim per centum) (Smulian et al 1996), BiP praenuntius (septendecim per centum) (Stedman and Buck 1996), aestus-offensio proteinus septuaginta (duodeviginti per centum) (Stedman et al 1998), internae transscriptae seper-antes regiones intra nuclearem ribosomalem RNA locum (triginta et duo per centum)" http://www.mycologia.org/cgi/content/full/96/3/429 sex per centum = 6% novem per centum 9% septendecim per centum = 17% etc. Also see: "duo per centum" (2%) ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=%22duo+per+centum&btnG=Search Also see: Cardinal numbers - Latin: http://www.legionxxiv.org/numerals/ -------- search strategy: "unus per centum", "duo per centum", etc Thanks. |

I think she is not really askig from a latin translation, she wants to know the spanish translation for "One Percent", that is "Uno por ciento" But the answer you gave her, I think is OK |

ddeleonm, Thank you for your comment. The title here is "English to Latin translation." I have to take that literally. The customer, jennym03, did not request Spanish. Additionally, it is fairly common to use Latin for engravings. Regards, juggler |
