"Terribilis" means terrifying, terrible. "This is a horrible place." See also: en arcadia ego, Poussin, and Rennes-le-Château.

*Update* Actually, the Latin phrase "Terribilis est locus iste" is a biblical text commonly employed as a cantus firmus throughout many Renaissance texts. From Gen 28:17, it translates to "Awesome is this place." You'll see it in motifs dealing with the dedication of cathedrals, as in Dufay's 1436 "Nuper Rosarum Flores" composed for the consecration of Brunelleschi's dome in Florence.

What is the English translation of 'locus placentibus placitus'?

The Latin phrase 'locus placentibus placitus' is incomplete if the adjective 'placentibus' is being used as an adjective. But it's complete if it's an adjective that's working as a noun. With the latter in mind, the word-by-word translation is the following: 'locus' means 'place'; and 'placentibus' and 'placitus' mean 'agreeable, pleasant, pleasing'. The English translation there is as follows: A place pleasant to the pleasant.
