I didn't know opera was that important to the Latin community

@PepsiColaP ."

In classical Latin, "opera" is the plural of "opus", it would mean "works" or "accomplishments."

I suspect the sign maker intended a word meaning "jobs", but picked even the wrong Latin word!

@DrWatson Latin is not real ,literally no one speaks Latin so your opinion is incorrect

@PepsiColaP But this sign is in Latin. Somebody typed some English words into Google Translate to convert them to Latin, mistakenly thinking that Latin is Spanish.

@PepsiColaP I know some Jesuits who learned to speak Latin pretty well so they could read Augustine in the original.

@ElwoodBlues I have studied Latin as well. I enjoy some Roman poets in the original Latin, and I have a Latin Bible. The Psalms are beautiful in Latin

@DrWatson Latin is not a thing on translator no one would know how to translate it because no one who used to speak it is alive today so stop

Here's your English comment translated to Latin by Google translate:

Latinum non est aliquid in interpres nemo scit interpretari quia nemo qui loquebatur ita vivere est hodie
