RUNE CONVERTER

WRITE IN NORSE RUNES AND VICE VERSA

BEFORE YOU START

Take note, this converter won't do the work for you, neither will any runic keyboard, app or translator that you find online. There's just no way to cover everything and the coding for something like this is is very complex. That being said, we've done our best to make this as easy to use as possible. I've left some tips below that will help you make the most of this rune translator.

SOME TIPS FOR BETTER RUNE TRANSLATIONS

THE RUNES ARE PHONETIC
They represent sounds as opposed to letters. Sound the word out before translating it
ᚬ - THE YOUNGER FUTHARK ÁSS RUNE
A unique but confusing rune for Old Norse vowels that were spoken nasally
THE CORRECT LANGUAGE FOR EACH SET
Elder Futhark → Proto-Germanic. Younger Futhark → Old Norse. Anglo Saxon Futhorc → Old English
NO NEED FOR DUPLICATES
The runes were originally carved into stone. This was time consuming and thus duplicated runes weren't really a thing
CONSISTENCY IS KEY
Whether you do your translation phonetically or letter for letter, just be consistent with it. Stick to one set of runes too to avoid confusion
SPACING MATTERS
If I were to write Skoll & Hati in Younger Futhark [Skǫll ok Hati]
ᛋᚴᛅᛚ : ᛅᚢᚴ : ᚼᛅᛏᛁ
is a lot more legible than ᛋᚴᛅᛚᛅᚢᚴᚼᛅᛏᛁ
DO YOUR RESEARCH
This one's a given. no runic translator is 100% accurate, you need to understand how to write in runes to get the most out of it.
