About translating phrases to Old English

Short phrases are where Old English really shines — quotes, mottoes, dedications, single-line tattoos. The translator focuses on producing a natural-feeling Old English 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 Old English style.

Common use cases

  • Sword and weapon engravings
  • Tattoo phrases and one-liners
