I would agree with Ray that we should quote Latin

the text is that important to English speakers then there should be or probably will soon
be, a verifiable English language translation *not* created in-project, but rather by a
reputable author publishing just such a translation.
This would mean that only English-language references are acceptable
in en:wp, which is of course false. Your statement takes a useful idea
(no original research), extrapolates it until it really obviously
breaks, and then puts forward the broken version as a good thing.
You appear to be mixing up policy, guidelines, practice and how you
personally think things should be, without distinguishing which you
are describing at any given time; this leads only to confusion.
