Not a bad translation, in fact, but the grammar is a bit of a mess. It is (the) Latin men you have sucking, not the language, and you have more than one of them so they should suck not sucks. (Latini is plural and sugit is singular.) I love linguistic discussions, so bring on the disagreements - but they would be rather OT.
