Question
I would like to get this phrase translated into Latin if at all possible.I have a few I hope that's ok. If not the first is fine. 1. Continuing to make history one milestone at a time.
2. A working legacy
3. We work so hard because we work for family.

Answer
Hello,

Here’s the translation of the second and third sentence, whereas the first cannot be translated as it would sound quite strange in Latin.

2.“Operis et laboris legatum” (A working legacy)

3.“Pro familiae commodis  sudamus” (We work so hard because we work for family)

Regards,
Maria

Note that:

-A working = OPERIS (genitive of OPUS)  ET LABORIS (genitive of LABOR)
-legacy = LEGATUM (nominative neuter, 2nd.declension)

-We work so hard = SUDAMUS (from SUDO, I  toil, I  work so hard)
-because we work for family= PRO FAMILIAE COMMODIS (literally, "for the sake of our family")
