Unlike Dan Quayle, I never studied Latin.  ;o)

Though for the English translation, I suspect it would read, "the die
is cast".  It's a common expression in English and if the verb ("is")
is singular, the noun ("die") should be too.

Molti ringraziamenti!
(Hopefully that expression is correct -- got it from the Google
translator, which is described by one of my German collegues as
"hopeless".
