Question
I would like to translate the following into latin:
"But I have already chosen my path. It is too late now to turn back."

Would it be something like:
"Alteum optivi meatus meus. Serus recurrere."

Thank you!

Answer
Hello,

First of all, sorry for the delay in replying, but AllExperts did not work.

So, here's the correct translation of  “But I have already chosen my path. It is too late now to turn back" :

"Sed iter iam delegi meum. Nunc id sero est convertere".


As for "Alteum optivi meatus meus. Serus recurrere.", I'm sorry, but it is absolutely wrong.

Best,
Maria
