Limbo Latin Translations

I have researched into the Latin translations for each of the 9 Circles of hell, seeing as I am responsible for designing the Limbo environment it was my job to find the correct translations. We decided that each door should have written text to show where each door leads to. But the Latin would add greater detail to the scene rather than having the English text, the reason for choosing Latin over any other language was because the original Dante's Inferno book was written in Latin. 

Below are each of the Door Names with their Latin translations, Limbo remained the same.

Limbo - Limbo
Lust - Concupiscentia
Gluttony - Gulam
Greed - Cupiditas
Anger - Ira
Heresy - Haeresis
Violence - Iniquitas
Fraud - Dolus
Treachery - Insidiae
