Two questions:

1) Into which language ?

and

2) why should you trust complete strangers any more than online translators ?

Also, why would you want a permanent motto in a foreign language you don't speak or understand? I don't speak or read Chinese, therefore it's a certainty I wouldn't have some Chinese motto tattooed on me... They don't wash off, remember... and most Scots (aye, even the Gaelic-speaking ones) have a fairly mischievous sense of humour...

Stick to a daft wee picture.
