One of the guys from church asked me for some nerd help last week. He needed the phrase, "Winning Hearts and Minds" translated into Latin for a unit crest his group is making up at Ft. Leavenworth.
Latin is not my strong suit.
Translating the phrase into Greek wasn't that hard (three lexicons and my Greek grammar book will do the trick). But Greek wasn't really a good fit; it seems that heraldry tends to use English, French, or Latin. Another military unit already has the same phrase in English as their motto and there's no reason to do French, so Latin it is.
I offered up my best effort. If they use it, I'll let you know.
