English to High Valyrian
Choose English to High Valyrian when you have an idea in English and want a Valyrian rendering—greetings, short descriptions, or fan phrases. The translator looks up known vocabulary and applies documented structure where the corpus supports it. Rare words, names, or highly idiomatic English may return partial output or notes asking you to simplify the input.
Tip: Start with concrete nouns and verbs (fire, dragon, serve) before long compound sentences. Cross-check headwords in the dictionary to confirm meaning and dialect labels.
High Valyrian to English
High Valyrian to English helps when you encounter a line from the show, a fan post, or your own notes and need a gloss. Paste Valyrian text, run translate, and read the English output.

FAQ
What is a High Valyrian translator?
It is a tool that converts text between English and High Valyrian using project vocabulary and documented patterns. This page is an independent fan resource—not an official HBO or publisher product.
Is English to High Valyrian translation always exact?
No. The language has real morphology and register; English idioms do not map one-to-one. Short, literal phrases translate most reliably. For nuance, compare output with dictionary examples and community references.
Can I translate full paragraphs?
The tool is tuned for words and short phrases. Long paragraphs may mix resolved tokens with gaps. Break text into smaller units, translate each piece, and verify headwords in the dictionary.
How is this different from Google Translate?
General machine translators rarely train on constructed languages at depth. This Valyrian translator is purpose-built for Peterson's High Valyrian data on this site, so output stays closer to documented usage when the corpus covers your input.
