    Crafting an 🧝Elvish phrase for a vintage press's ornamentation

    Here's an inscription question: We are working on restoring an 1897 Ferracute E-52 coining press. It is a bit unusual... one of the earliest of the up-acting knuckle-type presses manufactured in the United States, and becoming quite rare. I want to make it something of a showpiece. It will be a...

    Hi! I am new here so I'm sorry if I get to mess up and such, but going to the point; what would be some translations of the name Daniel in elvish, or in any other language really? All I've found is the sindarin translation😅

    Has anyone tried playing Minecraft in Quenya before?

    Minecraft has a bunch of language options that aren't strictly real-world ones. For example, 'Pirate Speak', LOLCAT (can i haz cheezburger), and normal English but written upside-down. And well, I set my Minecraft to Quenya, and it is very entertaining. I've noticed translations being updated...

    Humourous translations

    Is anyone else amused by the fact that palantír effectively translates to "television" and Glorfindel could be translated as "goldilocks"? What other translations do you find amusing?

    Name Translation

    I am making an Elf character to play in The Lord of the Rings Online with my brother. I'll be playing in the RP server, so I want to be as lore-based as possible, which means having a Sindarin name. Unfortunately for me, I am no master of Sindarin. If someone who knows what they're doing can...

    Sindarin translation request

    Greetings! I'm currently on the process of getting a correct Sindarin translation of a phrase from the Peter Jackson's movies: they differ from the books, but since it's for a tattoo, a shorter version is more manageable. The phrase is "Fell deeds awake! Now for wrath, now for ruin, and a red...
