Hello all,

Though I’m a new member to this forum I’ve ‘lurked’ these message boards for some time.

I read an older post (don’t recall who’s) asking for information on an Elven Translator. This might be a bit late – but I know of one that is downloadable and works. It translates English to Elvish or Elvish to English.

The site address is:

http://elvish.netfirms.com/

On the page it directs any questions, comments, and/or suggestions to:

olorin_the_great@yahoo.com

I hope this helps.

Welcome Khondar
I'm sure it will help me at least it will save us use different languages instead of elven
Thanks

A great elvish language sight is www.grey-company.org it doesn't really have a translator but it has converted words and such. Thought I should have let ye know.

We live in a bleak world my friend, where heroes are few and shadows stalk us around every corner.

There are indeed many language guides out there, not just one's usable for D&D, some of the Dragon Magazines give information in speaking certain languages.

I am aware of a Drow one the elven one and the grey company which is actually Tolkein elven, if I am not mistaken.

Its always fun to baffle fellow players who looks at the odd writeing in your post and goes, ummm what did you say,well if you don't speak elven then I don't need to explain, though this should also be done with players who are adult enough not to stomp off and have temper tantrums. *lol*

Aerie is that you??? How are ya? He hehe
Just a little fun! Do you have any links to any of these translators that you would rate as the best?
Thanks,elven_songstress.Glad to have you at Candlekeep!!

Courage isn't the lack of fear but rather believing in and doing what you know is right even though fear is present.

The documents provided by the Grey Company are quite extensive and I know several people in the PbeM communities [including myself ]who use the Grey Company's 'dictionary' as the unofficial englis-elvish elvish-english Webster's

I don't want a translator if its not the same as the AD&D elven.Is it the same?
