text: where can i get a latin translation of tao te ching online? i've found it in many languages, except latin. the tao te ching does not translate into live languages well.  the concepts are usually too foreign.  i do not know why you think that you need a latin translation, but you will not find one online and i doubt that anyone who could perform this would do justice to the text. translation is not the changing of a work into the words of another language.  it is the transmitting of the concepts of the original into another language.  latin does not have the words to do this adequately.
