    You should write it in Greek characters for Greeks to understand and you are not doing a good translation of the Greek characters in Latin ones anyways. But, as I figured out myself, this site does not support the Greek alphabet. Fair enough. Try a different site I would suggest.

    Anyway, OK, I am guessing that what you are trying to write is the following phrase, which is found in gospels etc (but obviously I have to write in Latin damn it) :

    "Egw eimi Auto pou Egw eimi".

    Where 'w' stands for omega, 'p' stands for pi (3.1415), and 'g' stands for gamma. Rest I think stay the same.

    Well if this is it, the word by word translation is "I am this that I am". But, "I am what I am" I suppose would be the actual translation.

    Of course, as in classical Greek, the phrase "Egw eimi" can be metapphorical, and means "I exist". I suppose in the Christian era, it takes an even more metaphysical and religious meaning.
