Since the English expression has more meanings(vide: posts under the translation), it could be translated in many ways.
"Sequere vera" literally means "Follow true/real things".
Nevertheless, other translations are also acceptable, for instance, "noli simulare = don't pretend", etc.

Alex, I'm sorry, but but I can't understand why you have translated this way...?

Mmmh let's try to explain. I took as the Spanish version as a source text (easier, since it's a Romance language) which is "Sean realistas", in English "Be realists". My dictionary gives no useful translation about "realist", but translates "realism" as "veri imitatio" or "veritas". Well, a realist is a person who sticks to real things, "vera", so "be realists" may mean also "stick to real things", "follow real things". The latter interpretation brought me to translate "Sequere vera".

It may seem illogical, I know. No problem with rejecting it, I think I can't do better but I'm sure you can

Hm, I see, but I interpret "Keep it Real" in a totally different way, Alex.
I feel we need some help here...

"Keep it real" is a slang expression from the 1960s, which meant something like "Stay cool" or "Don't overdo it", or maybe even "Don't be fake". It seems to be making a comeback nowadays as part of rapper slang.

If there's an equivalent expression in Spanish, which is highly idiomatic, I would say go for it.

Thanks Laura!

Then it seems there are few possible translations as the meaning of the source is not specific. I'm afraid there is no Latin equivalent that could represent this English idiomatic expression.

Alex has translated:
Sequere vera = Follow true/real things.

Is it acceptable for you, Laura?
or, for instance, "noli simulare = don't pretend" would be better? What do you think?

Oh sorry - I didn't even look to see what the target language was! I really don't know why the requester wants this translation, so it's hard to know what is required. I would say that both of those translations would be fine - maybe you could add a note in the comments field, Aneta?

Well, I'd say this request breaks our rule [7] EXPLAIN THE CONTEXT, but since that was already translated I'll follow your advice.
Thanks very much, kafetzou!
