I think Pierre has a fortune cookie file of common sayings or proverbs
translated into Lojban.

ve ka'a ro klaji la .romas. se jmaji -> all roads lead to Rome
loi mintu se ckaji danlu cu jmaji -> birds of a feather flock together
.i toljundi do .ibabo mi'afra tu'a do .ibabo damba do .ibabo do jinga .icu'u la ma'atman. -> first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win  - the Mahatma

A nice tool for partly translating Lojban, even without knowing it, is
the parser at

Apparently even serious Lojbanists may need such tools.  For example, in

John Cowan, the author of the main Lojban book, says "I don't speak the
language myself, even though I did write a grammar book about it -- I'm
just basically no good at memorizing vocabulary, which is why I'm going to
read a passage, because I'm just not fluent in terms of constructing it".
