What is it translated into Latin... I make a range of T-Shirts with foreign phrases on them. My last latin ones (Peccavi, I have sinned) were a huge hit, I'd love the correct translation of "I came, I saw" please!

Veni, Vidi, Vici (Latin: I came, I saw, I conquered)
Here's another one for you for a t-shirt
"Cogito, ergo sum" (Latin: "I think, therefore I am") or in French: "Je pense donc je suis.".
I just found a good site for you with latin sayings from A to Z for instance:
Musica delenit bestiam feram - Music soothes the savage beast

The translation is: veni, vidi, vici. Those famous words were said by the emperor Caesar in ancient Rome. The words mean: I came, I saw, I conquered.
If you just want "veni, vidi" on your T-shirt, I believe you will get many remarks of the phrase being unfinished!

Veni, vidi, vici is a famous Latin sentence spoken by Julius Caesar in 47 BC. Caesar used the sentence as the full text of his message to the Roman senate describing his recent victory over Pharnaces II of Pontus in the Battle of Zela in Zile, a town of Tokat city in contemporary Turkey. Caesar's terse remark -- translated as "I came, I saw, I conquered" -- simultaneously proclaimed the totality of his victory and served to remind the senate of Caesar's military prowess (Caesar was still in the midst of a civil war); alternatively, the remark can be viewed as an expression of Caesar's contempt for the patrician senate, traditionally representing the most powerful group in the Roman Republic.
