Re: I need some help in translation :)
Hi Kaz,

if “refracare” were replaced by “refringere”, your sentence would translate as “Without you, I am unable to break up diabolical plots”. (I offered that replacement because some forms of the verb “refringo” begin with “refract-”; I don’t know if “refracare” is an actual Latin infinitive.)

Note that “insidiis diabolicis“ is in the ablative case; with “refringere”, the accusative case “insidias diabolicas” would be used instead.

Language pair: Latin; English
