Do you mean, "... if I use a machine translation program I may have
errors ...?"

Good for you, that you recognize that.

But do you realize you're making this comment in a discussion group
that is mostly read by people who translate for a living?

We know that machine translators make errors. That's why we're still
in business :-)

I am working on a software project and would like to give both the
product and the company a motto that can be easily and quickly
identifiable such as 'carp diem'. I will of course explain in english

For what it's worth, it's "carpe diem", not "carp diem".

Cheers,
L.

Thanks Steven for enlightening me. No, I suppose I have shown my
ignorance by not researching the group well enough and have therefore
unintentionally upset not only yourself but also a few others who have
been offended by my question.

To be honest until it was pointed out to me (and others in this group)
I had not considered that the construction of a motto or phrase was
such a hot interlectual property topic.

I have now learnt my lesson and will forever more tread carefully (or
at least in a manner which will bring me less fire and brimstone) :-)

Kind regards, Bruce

GOOGLE-- no peace be upon them--did its own dark version of the
miracle of the loaves and the fishes when it made multiple postings of
what
I wrote but once, proving that at least here, the third time has no
charm.

My apologies to all for the redundancy.
