This question's for all you people who actually know Latin! (I really should learn) I'm writing a book with magic in it, and this guy is teleporting. This translation is from a website that is really confusing, but that's ok. If "Transporto mihi absentis" does not mean "Send me away", what is "Send me away" translated into Latin?

So does that first guy mean that
"Amitte me" means "Send me away?"

"Amove me" maybe fits better; it means "Remove me" (You remember the saying "Promoveatur ut amoveatur"?).
Your own sentence is quite wrong - "Transporto" suggests a present tense, first person, and not an imperative; "mihi" means "to me"; "absentis" means "of the absent". Too much mess!
On the other hand, "amitte" suggests "lose" rather than "transfer". "Meum" is wrong because it is a possessive adjective/pronoun and not a personal pronoun.

Transfer me
This is a strange one since the Latin and the English are identical. Transfer me means transfer me. Latin 'transfer' is the imperative form of 'transferre' and means 'transfer' as a command.

Amitte me.
What you've written doesn't fit the bill!
