Remarks about the translation
Hej, skulle vara väldigt tacksam om någon skulle kunna översätta det för mig, det är tänkt att bli en tatuering.

Frank asked me the same (in a pm) this morning & I think it's ok. Lilian. It's a daily used phrase.

According to Wikiquote:

*Translation: "Reflect on beforehand."

*Notes: Meaning "think through the consequences before you act". The proverb is also somewhat of a word game, since the Swedish expression for "reflect" litterally is made up of the words "think after" and "on beforehand" litterally is "before", rendering the sentence "think after before".

*cf "Look before you leap."

Hej AE920102

Tyvärr... latin är inget språk jag behärskar!! Vi kan försöka skynda på processen.

Hello Latin experts

Above is a bridge for evaluation. It seems the requester would appreciate if the translation was done soon (if you have the time of course) xx
