Latin isn't important for understanding the Scriptures, per se, but the ability to read Augustine and Aquinas in the original is also worthwhile. All us who are western Christians -- Catholic or Protestant -- originally had the faith brought to our spiritual forefathers through men who spoke Latin.

They may have spoken Latin..but the scriptures are greek and hebrew.. so those would be the necessary languages to translate scripture.What they spoke is of no import in translation
