I want to be able to use Latin to enhance my projects, such as using the translation extension to use Latin as an aesthetic enhancer for ancient Rome, or something.

Also, I did not expect this discussion to attract so much attention, unlike my projects.

Support, some schools have Latin as a language class, and Google Translate has it.

I don't see why not to add this. support.

Like no people speak Latin fluently.

I know a few people who speak Latin.

No support, the language option is for native speakers

It works if you use a join block like this:

(translate [hello] to (join [Latin] []) :: extension)

And while we're on the topic of join blocks in translate blocks, language codes work too. For example, “es” is the language code for Spanish. So if you do this:

(translate [hello] to (join [es] []) :: extension)

It translates to spanish.

No support; as previously mentioned, Latin is not used as a real language anymore; its primary uses being mottos, scientific names, and surviving Roman documents. Scientific names aren't a good enough reason to add them; if you're talking about existing organisms, then you just look up their name, and if you're making up new ones, that's a rare enough need that Google Translate should suffice. Mottos are also common uses, but again, this is rare enough that the people who need it can look it up. And it's not like the alphabet is that different, so you could type in “Latin” with an English keyboard.

That's kind of a complicated solution that not many people know about. Why couldn't Latin just be in the dropdown list….?

Well, to get someone to have to press Enter on their keyboard, you have to use the same trick but with the word “enter,” and in a “key pressed” block.
