That would be great. And if they use a font for the languages, a tool that lets you write out your own text in a selected language, so DMs could write and print out letters. I have a DM that has done this as a fun activity for us to decipher.
It would take a lot of work to add dictionaries for all the languages if that is what I am thinking you are implying. What I usually do is write things in English, but use some type of symbol font to make it look cool and then let people work out deciphering it. A LARP I belonged to for years did this a lot, too.

I think what he's implying is a letter replacement tool, not a dictionary, like the Hobbit Rune Generator (derhobbit-film.de/rune_generator.shtml). Of course, any runes used would have to be WoTC owned, not Tolkien.

The difficulty with this conversation is that it's very different from most of the ones I've had of late. Which, as I explained, have mostly been with trees. ~DA
Ah, if just runes to replace the letters of our spoken language and as you state fully owned by WoTC that could possibly be added. It wouldn't be a "language" thing, but a choice of fonts only. Now if they have their own created fonts it would be cool to acquire them and add them to our own word processing program. If they don't have their own, there are TONS out there to get and lots of free ones to boot to have fun with.

Do you think that can be a change to see in DDB the writing in fantasy languages (Elvish, Dwarvish, and whatnot)?

Yes I meant as @Grepniirsaid. This "eventual" tool here in the app would be great when yoy play with character that knwos different languages.
