I dit it ! Albanau asked erroneously his question in "in all languages" forum.

It would be beter if moderators transfer the own Albanau's request and that forum, and delet this one.

Thank you Sisyphe. I had received the demand of Albanau by private message. Why me?

I propose :
Or light was born free here, or captive, it reigns free here.

Such a good question, for your are not a latin-speaker. Albanau alone shall answer. If there is an answer.

Bonjour,
Arkayn ... j'ai reçu aussi le même message en privé ... du coup j'ai bien envie de savoir ce que cette "nata" signifie ... au juste

"Ou bien la lumière est née libre ici, ou bien captive, elle règne libre ici".

I used a nifty little app called Quick Latin and came up with this translation:

Or the light here swim he/she/it eats or try/long/aim for this the free royal powers.

Does anyone know what Hic Lux means translates to in English?

We did have translated this text above :

"Whether the light was born free here, or captive, it reigns free here."

(

the automatic translation you give is quite funny !).

"Hic lux" means "here the light".
