Translating proverbs

Question

I guess this question is "proof reading" but it could also be "culture" or "vocabulary and grammar."

But anyway... When you translate phrases from English to Spanish (or vice versa), I know that there is the "proper" translation, and translations that mean the same thing but aren't really correct, even though they have proper grammar and syntax etc.

For a Spanish oral, I am trying to figure out how to say the proverb, "The home is where the heart is." Would this be written in Spanish as, "El hogar es donde el corazón es," or would it be written as something else?

Answer 1

A donde el corazon se inclina, el pie camina.

This is a nice site, but unfortunately the proverbs are arranged alphabetically in Spanish, so you need to know their translation before finding them.
