Anyone know any website that can translate English into Sindarin (Elvish language used in the lord of the rings) I've got an amazing tattoo idea?

    Googled “Elvish Translator” and found the site by the people who made the ring for the movie.

    https://www.jenshansen.com/pages/online-english-to-elvish-engraving-translator

    Problem:

    The inscription on the ring isn’t Elvish. :)

    "‘I cannot read the fiery letters,’ said Frodo in a quavering voice.

    ‘No,’ said Gandalf, ‘but I can. The letters are Elvish, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here."

    You can write French in English letters, but that doesn’t make it English. 😉

    I found plenty of options by typing “English into Sindarin” in a search bar. None of them work for you?

      Yeah I did do that at first but sometimes websites aren’t really accurate to the thing you’re looking for. I wanted to see if anyone knows any other ones, some of the replies here already said it’s best to look for someone who is an expert on these things if that makes sense lol.

        You should try the constructed language subreddits or similar forums. Conlang nerds are stoked to help with translations, it’s the only time anyone cares about our hobby.

      In all seriousness, it’s literally “It’s some form of Elvish, I can’t read it” translated to Sindarin alphabet 😂

    The best tattoo idea is to NOT get a tattoo. I don’t know what that is in Elvish.

      True enough, but it’s nice to have ideas IF and WHEN you do decide to get a tattoo down the line.
