meningen/betydelsen är helt förståelig, men jag tror att denna fras brukar översättas: "En rädd hund skäller värre än den bits." | | |

"Sb's bark is worse than their bite"
I just translated literally because it came from Latin. But if you think the saying has to be passed on with it usual structure in Swedish, it's fine to me.  | | |

So we can keep your translation as it is (since this is "meaning only" ) and then I put the more "common" Swedish one in the notes. |
