Frequently Asked Questions

Each tool uses a curated local dictionary that maps English words and common phrases to the target language. Translation runs entirely in your browser. Words not in the dictionary are looked up in a free English dictionary for a definition.

They are accurate at the level of vocabulary and common phrases, but they do not reproduce full grammar such as verb conjugation or noun cases. Treat them as faithful word-and-phrase approximations, not professional translations.

No. Our tools are educational approximations and are not suitable for professional, legal, medical or academic-citation use. For those needs, consult a certified translator or qualified linguist.

A dotted underline means the word is not yet in that tool's dictionary, so it is kept in English in place. The tool then fetches an English definition and shows it below the output. We add common words each month.

It means a word is neither in our dictionary nor in the free fallback dictionary we query. This usually happens with names, very rare words or typos.

They translate word by word and handle set phrases, but they do not rebuild sentences with authentic ancient grammar. Ancient languages often used cases, genders and word orders that simple substitution cannot reproduce.

Yes. They use genuine Unicode characters, so you can copy and paste them into other documents and apps. The cuneiform tool uses the official Unicode cuneiform block.

Please do not cite the tools themselves as a source. Instead, consult the scholarly dictionaries and grammars we list in the "Further Reading" section of each tool page.

Old Norse is the North Germanic language of the Vikings and the ancestor of the Scandinavian languages. Old English is the West Germanic ancestor of English itself. They influenced each other heavily but are distinct languages.

Your device may lack a font that includes those characters, such as cuneiform or Syriac. Installing a Unicode font with broad coverage, or viewing on a different device, usually fixes it.
