Hello there!

Recently, I updated my app Datapad | Aurebesh Translator with a major update, with it now being Datapad 3.0! I also created a new, simpler app, which is a companion to Datapad called Aurebesh Translator! Whether you’re looking for a simple, sleek translation app or an all-in-one immersive Star Wars experience, there’s something for everyone. And the best part is that both apps are completely free with no ads, no subscriptions, no fees, and absolutely no data collection. They are both available on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Vision Pro, and Mac, helping you keep connected to the Star Wars universe with 0 cost on all devices.

Datapad 3.0: The Ultimate Galactic Translator

With Datapad 3.0, you can finally step into the Star Wars universe with a fully immersive UI, themed around a genuine Star Wars datapad. This version brings some pretty amazing new features that make Datapad much better:

• New Crystal Screen and 15 Stunning Gradients: Datapad now showcases crystals with a vibrant, immersive look that makes the crystal screen the heart of the Datapad (literally; check out the app to see what I mean). There are a lot more crystals to choose from, both from colors to even stunning gradient crystals.
• Galactic Secrets around Two Hidden Kyber Crystals: The new update includes two secret kyber crystals that can be unlocked for those daring to explore – think of them as echoes of the Force hidden within your Datapad!
• Customization with 10 New Accent Colors and App Icons: Personalize your Datapad even further with brand-new color options and app icons, tailoring the look and feel to your style.
• Interactive Animations: Feel the magic of Star Wars every time you interact with these unique crystals, now with fresh animations to bring your translations to life.

Datapad goes beyond just translating. It supports 3 types of Aurebesh (Basic, Cantina, Droid) and 2 types of Mando’a, complete with digraph support for more complex letter combinations. You can also view alphabets, share translations with friends, and utilize widgets, complications, and offline functionality. Datapad is for fans who want to dive deeply into the languages and mysteries of the Star Wars galaxy.

I am also thinking about adding Huttese to Datapad to make it support even more galactic languages!

Aurebesh Translator: The Simple Gateway to the Galaxy

If you’re looking for simplicity, Aurebesh Translator is a streamlined, straightforward version of Datapad. Originally the prototype that started it all, this app offers translation between English and Aurebesh with a clean, Apple-inspired UI with only the standard Aurebesh and English Basic font.

While Aurebesh Translator is perfect for quick translations, Datapad enhances this experience with the immersive UI, advanced features, and a variety of customization options. It’s truly a choice between simplicity and a more elaborate Star Wars experience.

Perfect for Galaxy’s Edge or Just for Fun

Both apps are designed with the Star Wars community in mind. Whether you’re at Galaxy’s Edge trying to decipher Droidobesh symbols, sharing Aurebesh messages with friends, or exploring the language, these apps will connect you with the Star Wars universe like never before.

Download Now & Discover the Secrets of the Galaxy

Whether you prefer the minimalist approach of Aurebesh Translator or the fully immersive Datapad 3.0, both apps offer unique journeys into galactic languages – completely free and with no strings attached. Enjoy exploring, translating, and unlocking galactic secrets!

Let me know if you guys have any questions or suggestions! May the Force be with you, always!

{SOLVED} how dose writing aurebesh work, why is there a separate symbol for ch and other 2 letter combinations. Do you use them in place of the letters or what?

I am getting a memorial tattoo of my dog's name (Kaia Rhae, pronounced K-eye-uh Ray) and I am getting two different translations online. The first is each letter individually and the second combines the ae into æ and translates from there. I THINK the first image is the correct one based on pronunciation since the æ would be pronounced like rat without the t in English instead of ray but I wanted to check with you all and make sure. Thanks in advance, it really means a lot, we just lost her earlier this week and it has been extremely hard

Hi all,

Just spent several hours yesterday and today trying to get my phone to work in aurebesh. It was absolute hell to figure out, so I decided to create this detailed guide (and it will be painstakingly detailed as I am over-compensating for all the 'how to change your font' guides which are like 3 lines long) in the hopes that you guys won't be as lost as me, desperately trying and failing to set my phone up.

Caveats:

1. This works on my phone (samsung a20), if you've got different operating systems etc, I cannot guarantee anything. I think this will work on all androids. I cannot speak for apple products.

2. It doesn't work perfectly, as you are changing your phone's font. Homescreen, keyboards, messages, settings, etc. will change to aurebesh. Some apps will too. Others don't as they have their own fonts.

(If you want to change your internet app to aurebesh too, I will add that in at the end - though again I can only guarantee this works in Firefox as that's what I use on my phone)

How to do it...

1. Before you get started, I would recommend finding your font and zoom settings and making them as small as possible - as you all know, aurebesh is wider than latin characters, so this will help you use your phone once you've changed the font.

2. Download zfont3 and do what it tells you to (I think it may direct you to download zfiles as well once you are in the app)

3. On your browser, go to https://www.dafont.com/aurebesh-af.font and click download.

4. Use zfont 3 to extract the first one (well, that's the one I used anyway). The tech ones format numbers strangely!

5. Aurebesh-af should now be under the downloads tab on zfont3. If it isn't, click the plus button at the side of downloads and find it under files.

6. Click on the aurebesh font. You will be directed to a 'phone screen' showing you what your text will look like. Click 'apply' at the bottom. It will tell you you are attempting to apply an otf file and ask if you want to convert it. Personally, it worked fine on my phone without converting, so I just clicked 'ok' and continued on to the next stage.

7. Choose the correct operating system for your phone. I chose the one UI All for mine.

8. If you are like me, it will have a message like 'if samsung sans doesn't work...'

This is me telling you that samsung sans DOES NOT WORK, FOR THE LOVE OF THE FORCE CLICK ON THE DROP DOWN MENU ON THE NEXT PAGE AND CHOOSE ANOTHER FONT, honestly this was the main thing that tripped me up, because there's no clear way of knowing this font is the problem, and I assumed I was going wrong elsewhere for so many tries! Then click 'build'...

9. You will come across a page with instructions. Follow these instructions literally To The Letter (including the backup and restore of settings). What I didn't realise at first, was that you need to actually click on each instruction - this will ensure that everything that needs to happen does happen, including installation and uninstallation of the legit fonts you are gonna trick your phone into replacing with aurebesh.

10. Now your phone should be in aurebesh.

Note well! If your phone is like mine, if you go back into fonts and change back to the normal font, you then CANNOT change back to aurebesh without doing steps 6-9 again, because your phone will suddenly go waaaiiittt.... this aurebesh thing isn't meant to be compatible with me!

I hope you guys found this useful - it might be over simplified for some, but having seen tons of messages in the last few days where lots of people weren't managing it, and really struggling myself, I figured it better to err on the side of caution.

Enjoy!

Bonus: getting your internet browser (well, at the very least firefox, in aurebesh)
(If mobile mode doesn't work, you may need to use desktop mode just to set it up)

1. search for aurebesh mode firefox add-ons (there is also an extension for google - i don't have the chrome app so can't test it)
2. add the extension (it says it's not suitable for android, but it lies!)
3. in the menu at the top right corner, find extensions, click on this then click on aurebesh mode
4. enable (you can also change between a few different aurebesh styles)
5. aurebesh!

So many years ago for a Star Wars roleplay in Second Life, I had the idea for an Aurebesh children's book that could teach "younglings" Aurebesh, but was really just a tool to learn Aurebesh for anyone with text in Aurebesh and the Roman alphabet.

I wrote the text, but this is as far as we got in art as the artist quit Second Life before we got very far, and I had no way to contact him outside of Second Life. I got distracted by other projects and never got back to this.

But here is Besh and Esk early drafts.
