The Early 1200s English Translator
Translate from Normal Language into The Early 1200s English
This translator is designed to not only convert modern text into the language of the early 1200s, but to also provide a taste of the era's cultural context. It employs a technique called 'historical lexicography', meticulously researching contemporary word usage. The resulting translation doesn't simply replace words, it immerses the reader in the specific nuances of the period. Features include the reproduction of medieval syntax and vocabulary, as well as the inclusion of common archaic grammar elements, like the use of the definite article ('the') before common nouns and the use of the preterite form in verbs, aiming to faithfully replicate the language of the time. This translator aims to bring the past to life through the craft of faithful historical translation. It seeks to provide not just a grammatical translation, but an authentic artistic representation of 13th-century English.
