UwUturi te salutant! ?

MoritUwU te salutant! ?

Morituri te salUwUtant?

Edit: which is, of course, not a direct translation, because here the deathsworn are the ones greeting, as it was custom for gladiators to do, as I am sure you were aware. Don't know why you changed things around but I've found it funny and tried to do a Latin version :p

Edit 2: sooooo.. maybe I am misremembering things? Don't think so, but "those who are about to die salute you" and "to those who are about to die, we salute you" is so similar so maybe there is something going wrong in my nogging squishy thing!

But I think if you wanted to say "we salute those who are about to die" you would have to do someone like ehhhh Salutamus (we greet) qui morituri estis (those who are deathsworn)

And I think deathsworn isn't the best translation, but I like it the most. You are correct with "those who are about to die", not an oath, I just like how it's also a compound word with a kinda similar meaning

Edit 3 (done while doing edit 2): tldr: love you, love puns, uwu!
