Hey- I'm currently in a campaign with the Ythryn city and their language is Netherese/Loross- Draconic is the closest thing to it but an actual translator if anyone could find that would be nice! Also heads up the goblin translator isn't accesible for me so idk if thats for everyone but yeah
Excellent find! I am SO grateful to have a way to easily transliterate the Draconic language, even thought it looks like I still have to copy and paste the individual characters... Up to this point, I've been drawing every character of my written messages in MS Paint!
Google Translate is my friend for this, if you go through you can find some really interesting sounding languages. It means you can have a whole message in english and then auto translate with all the grammar etc.
HELLO, AGAIN! I wanted to drop by and let you know that I updated my Ignan translator, so you might wanna grab a new link for that. It's been brought into line with all the languages which are derived from Primordial, which I created below:
Dungeons & Dragons features a rich array of in-game languages, from Common and Elvish to Draconic, Infernal, Celestial, and Undercommon, each carrying its own alphabet and cultural flavor that brings depth to tabletop storytelling. A comprehensive D&D language translator lets players and dungeon masters convert everyday text into these fantasy scripts, making handwritten notes, prop letters, tavern signs, or ancient runes feel authentic to the game world instead of just plain English scribbled on a notecard.
Pairing a dedicated D&D translator with afont generatertakes the immersion even further, since you can style translated Draconic or Elvish text into bold, italic, or decorative Unicode fonts for character sheets, campaign maps, or social posts about your latest session. This combination helps DMs create props that feel genuinely otherworldly, giving players a tactile connection to the languages their characters speak without needing calligraphy skills or design software.
Comprehensive D&D language translators cover the full range of tongues found across the Forgotten Realms and beyond, including Common, Elvish, Dwarvish, Draconic, Infernal, Celestial, Abyssal, Primordial, and Undercommon, each with distinct scripts and phonetic rules rooted in the game's lore. These tools let players and dungeon masters convert plain English into these fictional languages, turning simple messages into immersive props like ancient scrolls, cryptic runes on a dungeon wall, or secret notes passed between characters who share a common tongue their party doesn't understand.
To push the immersion further, pairing a D&D translator with a font generater lets you style the translated text in fantasy-inspired Unicode fonts, whether it's jagged and sharp for Draconic or flowing and elegant for Celestial. This combination is especially useful for DMs crafting physical or digital handouts, giving players a genuinely otherworldly artifact to examine rather than a plain block of translated text.
D&D's language system turns worldbuilding into something players can actually touch, letting a rogue decipher a Thieves' Cant note or a wizard puzzle over a page of Draconic runes instead of just being told "you don't understand this." A solid translator tool spans the full roster: Elvish, Dwarvish, Giant, Sylvan, Deep Speech, Infernal, and the rest, converting ordinary sentences into script that matches each language's in-world feel, whether that's the harsh consonants of Orcish or the flowing curves of Celestial.
What sets a genuinely useful translator apart is flexibility for actual table use: exportable text for printed handouts, copy-paste output for Discord campaigns, and compatibility with a font generater so DMs can layer on visual texture, weathered parchment styling for an old treaty, jagged edges for a goblin warband's threat note, or elegant script for a fey court's invitation. That combination turns a translated phrase from a novelty into a genuine storytelling prop players will remember.

If you're looking for transliterations, https://www.fantasytranslator.com/ offers Elvish, Dwarvish, and Draconic alphabets. You could also use https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Iokharic for the Draconic alphabet, but you would have to write the words out on MS Paint or something. There is also https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Infernal_language and https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Barazhad for Infernal and Primordial/Abyssal, respectively, for more MS Paint shenanigans.
You could also just have AI change each letter to a strange character or symbol.
You could also have AI actually become an NPC and speak any language you want, as as a dedicated entity.
You can also download a font for a lot of these alphabets. So Translate then just change fonts
The link to the Goblin language one doesn't seem to work on my end. Idk about others
You mean ”Am am goamng to the store”.
我认为精灵用的是汉语
I think the elves use Chinese
比如我现在打的这些东西我感觉你们100%看不懂
Everyone knows Drow speak German... (at least in my games ;-) )
RPGs from '83 - 03. A fair bit of LRP. A big gap. And now DMing again. Froth.

The goblin link was a virus. I would remove that one.

Has many options to choose from. They even have a "Cthulhu" option I think would be perfect for Deep Speech.
