Source language: French

Si le droit à la parole s'envole, la liberté pourrit.
Remarks about the translation
Détournement de l'expression "Les mots s'envolent, les écrits restent" dans le cadre d'une critique contre les atteintes à la liberté d'expression dans de nombreux pays aujourd'hui encore.


Composition :
- "Si le droit à la parole s'envole" = si l'on prive quelqu'un du droit à la parole
- "la liberté pourrit." = la liberté se perd, les droits disparaissent.


Autre reformulation : "Si le droit à la parole s'envole, la liberté pourrit." = société où la liberté d'expression est brimée, libertés en voie de disparition.

Dear latinist, goncin!

Well, I am wondering why you used two different tenses in the clauses:

Si ius exprimendi evanescit (praesens), libertas peribit (futurum I).

Well, I know that is how we express the conditional in English, but in Latin it doesn't work in this way... I propose twise "praesens" or twise "Futurum I", or you can also create here "modus potentialis" with appropriate "conjunctivi"...

BTW. I'm so happy you came back to us!!!

There were only few persons here who translate into Latin so far... And I sometimes have got nothing to evaluate for a long time...

So, keep translating, please!!!

Both verbs in present tense seems OK to me.
