About translating phrases to Māori

Short phrases are where Māori really shines — quotes, mottoes, dedications, single-line tattoos. The translator focuses on producing a natural-feeling Māori version that preserves the punch of the original.

For best results, keep your phrase short and self-contained. Pick "Natural" tone for everyday use, or "Extreme" if you want the result to lean heavily into Māori style.

Common use cases

  • Cards and dedications
  • Wedding, memorial, and gift inscriptions
  • Mottoes and slogans
  • Quotes for prints and posters
  • Tattoo phrases and one-liners

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the result commercially?
Yes. The output is yours to use however you like — for personal projects, prints, designs, or commercial work.
Will this phrase look right in Māori?
Yes — the translator produces authentic-style phrasing, not a word-by-word swap. For permanent uses like tattoos, double-check with a second source.
How long can the phrase be?
Up to 2,000 characters. For best results on phrases meant for tattoos or prints, keep them under one or two short sentences.
