Note really.
 
Facit = makes.
 
So ‘good leader’ should be in the accusative, as its the direct object of the verb, no?
 
bonum docum

Note that in later time the classical word for a military leader became the noble title of duke.

Now write it out a hundred times. If it’s not done by sunrise, I’ll cut your balls off.

Fixed!  

@Background Pony #18FB  
Should I make a fixed version?

@Background Pony Number 17  
That’s definitely not what it’s supposed to say.

“People called Romanes they go into the house”?

Google translate is shit at latin.
 
This is shit.
 
As I said [before remembering to log in] in@Background Pony #18FB

This is terrible latin.
 
Why is the first good [bonus] in the accusative case? It doesn’t match with miles, that’s nominative. Bonum is only nominative when paired with the neuter. And Miles is _masculine.
 
Facit [he makes] works, but its not the best choice.
 
A is a PREPESITION that needs to match the dative or ablative. There is no indefinite articles in latin!
 
Why is ducis in the genative? ‘of the duke’
 
What you’ve done here is write:
 
‘Solider makes good of a duke to good’
 
And even that doesn’t work, because a matches with the ablative
 
What you should have done was:
 
‘Bonus Miles est bonum ducem’

I case someone wants to know the meaning of the text. It should mean something like: A good soldier is a good leader.
 
Thank you Google Translator.
 
Edit: Well, should have refreshed the page before I wrote my comment after I used Google Translator. x3

“A good soldier makes a good leader”, if my Google translate-fu is working properly.
