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.
