Old Norse translator
← Back
I will continue adding translations and monitoring which translations you fellas are more interested in, so over time it will get more and more specific. I also plan to add a Old Norse to English translator along the way as well as other languages and for an ability to generate kennings as well. Kennings are basically 'riddle-like nicknames' and were very prevelant in Old Norse poetry known as Eddic and Skaldic poetry. A kenning is basically calling Odin a "raven-god" and so on.
The name Hoenir comes from a Norse god, one of three gods said to have created humans. Hoenir was the one that gave humans reason.
Have some??? Found some family heirlooms old, how old not qualified 2 even guess some jewelry original with names in Rune , a old family sword gilded a bit and kinda engraved i Guess in Rune as well, really really odd rusted beyond repair. Bummer even I can tell it was once beautiful I bet so I’m a artist so I rubbed it for fine details then drew it like it was new. WoW I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HELP ME WITH THE TRANSLATION IF YOU GOT A SEC. PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE OUT THE TRANSLATION OR ORIGIN AT LEAST. THANK YOU.
This is absolutly great
I love it! keep it up!
just a couple things though, the dots are often in the wrong places, if they’re there at all. also, for Idunn, a norse goddess, there’s jotun, a giant! other than that, I love it! Im making a english and norse book, and its practicly my everything!
This website is great! I’m currently working on a high fantasy book and I am using Old Norse as the base for one of the languages. This website has been a huge help!
This is great! I have a wooden staff I was meaning to carve Psalm 23 on (“Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
I just have one question. How was punctuation handled?
Brilliant site, it would be brilliant if the site also spoke the translation too. I look forward to such a feature. Great work so far 😁
I just want to thank you for creating this very interesting and unique translator. I can’t stop playing with it’s different forms and it’s very cool. I am still learning and digging. I am of Austrian decent, which some say originated from the Celts. Very interesting. I am a fan of the early Norse mythology, and this is a fun tool, and very nice website. Thanks again!
Hi I love this website but can you something where you can translate HOENIR in to englis
This website is really great! I am a wood worker who often carves in the Old Norse style. I like to include titles, either in Icelandic or runes. Takk Fyrir!
Thanks for all the kind words so far and everyone using it! I’ve also fixed the “ý” as Firanto mentioned :)
This is cool. Anyway, I’d like to give feedback. The word “illuminate” is translated to “lýsa”. But apparently, the futhark/rune doesn’t have the equivalent for the “ý”, which means, “lýsa” will be written as “ᛚýᛊᚨ” in older futhark (notice the “ý” in the second character).
Great things anyway. Thanks.
my attempt to translate. plz view. https://youtu.be/a02EOzzDZdM
Neato!! I had a lot of fun with this!
Brilliant. Will facilitate comparisons with Icelandic. Thank you!
I can’t thank you enough for this webpage.
This is so cool!! I made many different words and sentences and compared them to dictionaries and it is the real deal! good job! will recommend this to everyone
