There is no room for a remedy, where faults were made, character comes into existence.
No idea what the 'deest remedii locus' thing is doing there, makes no sense. Or I just suck at translating Latin to English. Probably a bit of both, but my translation is definitely better than the one on that site.
Deest is just a tense form of "lack" or "absence", in english you'd just say that it's "not there" or something. Latin was a real "freeride" as far as poetry is concerned, so rules of grammar were sometimes bent. Remedii comes from Remedium, meaning "remedy" or "cure" but in this case "proper/correct means" or "non-errors". Locus means "place".
"When there is no place for proper means (there), where errors were made, they become customs."
Ah, yes, when you put ubi in front, the sentence makes a lot more sence all of a sudden.
