It's not actually Latin at all...a lot of it resembles Latin, but it's really just gibberish designed to look like Latin. The idea is to have text in a place where there will later be a caption or a description, but not detract from the actual work. If you put something like "This is nonsense text, do not read blah blah blah..." people will inevitably read it. But if you put something that looks like Latin, people accept that they won't know what it says and therefore ignore it and accept it as text.
Actually it is Latin, or at least it was. It's a modified excerpt from a text written by Cicero.
The text is derived from sections 1.10.32–3 of Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum (On the Boundaries of Goods and Evils, or alternatively [About] The Purposes of Good and Evil).[3] The original passage began: Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit (Translation: "Neither is there anyone who loves grief itself since it is grief and thus wants to obtain it"). It is not known exactly when the text acquired its current standard form; it may have been as late as the 1960s.

A search for other sources and consulting with my brother (computer science major in college) revealed Wikipedia isn't just making stuff up on this one. :o

I concede defeat...
Sadly, I've read that exact article already. The Latin quote just seems so insignificant compered to the rest of the text. Additionally there are generators that will spew randomized versions similar to this one. In any case, It depends on how much of the text you're referring to as Latin; in any case, it's Latin-based, but arbitrary enough to not translate as a cohesive statement or paragraph.
