May I have a bridge for translation? Shared points

Don't share the points, I have enough

I believe it's "Veritas vos liberabit" in Latin?

Thanks Ernst
Yes Anita, if "you" is plural I believe your translation is fine.

I'd say it's a neutral "you", I think it could even easily be left out in Latin (if I'm not mistaken!): Veritas Liberabit. But obviously, I'm no Latin expert so I shouldn't be interfering here ;-)

Nor am I, but I can see your point - probably a Latin native speaker would have left out any personal pronoun here. However Cucumis' rules demand that translations be as literal as possible... I'm not sure if "you" should be kept or not.
I'm sure Aneta can help!

@Aneta,

What do you think? In such cases should we keep a general, neutral "you" in the Latin translation or can we leave it out?

Hi guys,
I believe that "Veritas vos liberabit" expresses a general truth and refers to all people. Latin "vos" here doesn't have to refer to specific people at all.

But I don't think we can leave "vos" out. It would sound like unfinished sentence then.

Ok, now it's clear. Thank you
