    thanks lissileigh, for all your help I will pass it on to mum
  • Just put the greek into babelfish (never use any other now) and it came back with
    together for always the eternity
    Put in together forever eternity it came back with
    μαζί για πάντα αιωνιότητα
    Which then came back as
    together for every eternity
    I think it might be an idea to find a Greek person if you want an exact translation, or perhaps write to the Greek Embassy? You might even find a local secondary school has a Greek teacher, it all depends on how exact she wants the translation!

    Sad really, I spend ages messing about on Babelfish and have yet to find an EXACT translation of anything! I would only consider it exact if it came back with the same translation each way.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    It's not a sentence, so I think the only way you'll get those three words accurately is to do each one seperately. Otherwise if you try to turn it into a sentence you're bound to get interpretation, rather than a literal translation.

    this is what she said

    The exact translation of the words "together forever eternity" is "μαζί για πάντα αιωνιότητα". However, this is not a phrase neither in Greek nor in English. If she wants to write it as a phrase, she can have it as "Μαζί για πάντα στην αιωνιότητα", which loosely means "Together for ever to eternity".

    Hope it helps."
