Anybody speak latin fluently?

What do you want translated? I took four years of high level Classics back in the day, so I'll see if I could help.
never
atqui [nevertheless , but in fact]; sometimes confirmatory, [indeed, certainly].
inocciduus -a -um [never setting].
interea [meanwhile]; sometimes [nevertheless , notwithstanding].
nihilum (nilum) -i n. [nothing]; as adv. , [not at all]; 'nihilominus', [nevertheless].
nunquam (numquam) [never]; 'nunquam non' , [always]; 'non nunquam', [sometimes].
quamquam (quanquam) [although , though]; at the beginning of a sentence, [nevertheless, and yet].
tamen [however , yet, nevertheless].
verus -a -um [true , real, genuine; truthful, veracious; just, reasonable]. N. as subst. [truth, reality; right, duty]; 'veri similis', [likely, probable]. N. nom. as adv. verum, [but yet, still, however]; strengthened, verumtamen (verun-), [notwithstanding, nevertheless]. N. abl. as adv. vero, [in truth, indeed, in fact]; in a climax, [even, indeed]; ironically, [to be sure]; adversative, [but indeed, but in fact]. Adv. vere, [truly, really, rightly].
satisfied
contineo -tinere -tinui -tentum (1) [to hold together , keep together]; hence [to connect, join]. (2) [to keep in, surround, contain, confine]; hence [to include, comprise]. (3) [to hold back, constrain].Hence pres. partic. continens -entis. (1) [lying near, adjacent]. (2) [hanging together, unbroken, continuous]; f. as subst., [a continent]; n. as subst., rhet., [a main point]. (3) [self-controlled, temperate, continent]. Adv. continenter, [without break, continuously; continently,
temperately]. Partic. contentus -a -um, [contented, satisfied] (with abl.).
plenus -a -um [full , full of] (with genit. or abl.); [complete; plump, thick; pregnant; filled, satisfied; well-stocked, rich]; of age, [mature]; of the voice, [strong, loud]; of style, [full, copious]. Adv. plene, [fully, completely].
So you'd probably want "Nunquam Plenus"

in other words
numquam contentus
numquam contentus
Plenus usually is used in the context of food IIRC, so unless you're going for "Never Satisfied" as in "Constantly Hungry", I'm not sure that's it either. I could be wrong about this one though. Numquam, however, is the correct adverb.
EDIT: A little research shows that it may be "Numquam Contentus". I hope someone who has further Latin schooling can chime in.

but how do i know for sure there's not another phrase they may use or even if the combo you chose or got torque? chose is correct?
thanx again
