What is the Aurebesh Translator?

The Aurebesh Translator is a free online tool that converts English text into Aurebesh, the primary writing system used throughout the Star Wars galaxy. Aurebesh appears on computer screens, signs, cargo containers, and documents in virtually every Star Wars film, TV series, and video game.

Unlike many fictional languages, Aurebesh is a straightforward letter-for-letter substitution of the Latin alphabet - each English letter has a corresponding Aurebesh character. This makes it easy to read and write once you learn the symbols. The name "Aurebesh" comes from the first two letters of the alphabet: Aurek (A) and Besh (B), similar to how "alphabet" comes from Alpha and Beta.

Frequently Asked Questions

Aurebesh is a writing system (alphabet), not a language. It's a direct 1:1 substitution cipher for the Latin alphabet - you're still writing English, just with different symbols. This is different from constructed languages like Klingon or Elvish, which have their own vocabulary and grammar. Think of Aurebesh like a secret code where A=☐, B=☐, etc.

Aurebesh appears throughout all Star Wars media! Look for it on: computer screens and displays, cargo containers and crates, warning signs and labels, starship consoles, storefronts on Coruscant and other planets, Imperial and Rebel documents, and docking bay signage. Once you learn to recognize it, you'll spot it everywhere in the films, TV shows, and games.

To display Aurebesh visually, you need to install an Aurebesh font (many free options exist online) and then simply type normally - the font replaces Latin letters with Aurebesh symbols. Our translator shows you both the visual output (using an Aurebesh font) and the letter names so you can recreate the text with any Aurebesh font.

Aurebesh has 8 special characters for common two-letter combinations: Cherek (CH), Enth (AE), Onith (EO), Krenth (KH), Nen (NG), Orenth (OO), Shen (SH), and Thesh (TH). These aren't always used - sometimes the two individual letters are written instead. Our translator recognizes these combinations and shows their proper names.

Yes, completely free! The Aurebesh Translator has no registration, subscriptions, or hidden fees. You can translate unlimited text as many times as you want. The tool runs entirely in your browser, making it fast, private, and always available.

Aurebesh is a trademarked element of the Star Wars franchise owned by Lucasfilm/Disney. For personal use, fan projects, and non-commercial purposes, using Aurebesh is generally fine. For commercial products, you should consult with a legal professional regarding intellectual property and trademark considerations.
