Frequently asked questions

What counts as an ancient language here?

Languages that are primarily classical, liturgical, reconstructed, or no longer everyday vernaculars — plus early English stages such as Old and Middle English. Living modern languages live on their own translator pages.

Is the ancient language translator free?

Yes. Translation is free right now — no account or paid plan required.

Can I translate Beowulf or Latin mottos?

Yes — open Old English or Latin, paste a short sample first, then expand. For published or tattooed work, confirm with a qualified human.

Should I use ChatGPT instead?

Chatbots are flexible and often invent plausible forms for low-resource languages. A dedicated page keeps the job scoped and links the right direction tools; still treat hard passages as drafts.
