Old English Translator

Old English Translator helps you explore Old English (Anglo-Saxon) by converting between modern English and Old English using AI. It’s designed as a quick bridge for study and creative work, letting you compare how wording shifts across time while you learn vocabulary, grammar patterns, and tone.

You can translate text in a few ways: type or paste a sentence, upload a document, or use an image. Enter your modern English, choose Translate, and you’ll get an AI-generated Old English draft that includes key Old English characters like þ, ð, and æ. You can also flip the direction to translate Old English back into modern English for comparison.

To support learning, the tool comes alongside an Old English dictionary search, an alphabet and keyboard guide for the teaching characters (including a browser keyboard), and an Old English phrase collection with context and labeled forms. Use these resources together to refine your drafts and understand how examples work in practice.

It’s especially useful for students and academics, writers and fiction authors, historians and researchers, language enthusiasts, and game/film creators. Old English Translator is free and requires no sign-up.
