Aurebesh Translator

Aurebesh is the written script of Galactic Basic Standard, the language spoken by humans and most species across the Star Wars galaxy. This english to aurebesh translator converts text both ways: English into the aurebesh language script and Aurebesh back into English.

The script was created by graphic designer Stephen Crane for the original Star Wars films, first appearing as readouts on screens aboard the Death Star in 1977. It's been canon ever since, showing up on ship displays, datapads, signage across Coruscant, and as the star wars written language on official merchandise.

Type a name, phrase, or sentence into the box and the tool handles the conversion instantly. For another fictional language with its own dedicated writing system, the Elvish Translator covers Tolkien's scripts of Middle-earth.

Writing in Galactic Basic is this fast:

1. Type or paste English text into the left box
2. Hit Translate to get the Aurebesh output
3. Copy the result, or swap to change direction

To decode, type Aurebesh into the left box and click Swap before translating. The aurebesh to english translator direction converts the script back to plain text just as cleanly.

Common Aurebesh words with their character-by-character breakdown:

"May the Force be with you" in aurebesh is the most searched phrase and spans 28 characters across the full galactic script with spaces counted. The phrase "I am no Jedi in aurebesh" is another common lookup, popular for cosplay, prop lettering, and fan tattoos referencing Ahsoka Tano's iconic line.

Most people arrive here for one of these reasons:

• Aurebesh tattoos: Short words like hope, rebel, and peace make clean minimalist designs, and Jedi quotes carry real meaning for Star Wars fans.
• Galaxy's Edge visits: Fans heading to the Star Wars theme park use this to decode Aurebesh signage, menus, and displays before they arrive.
• Cosplay and props: Lightsaber engravings, helmet markings, and name tags in aurebesh for fan costumes and prop builds.
• Learning aurebesh: Reading the aurebesh alphabet wherever it appears in films, shows, games, and official merchandise.

My cousin was building a prop lightsaber for a convention and wanted his Jedi character name engraved in Aurebesh on the hilt. He ran the name through here, noted the character breakdown, and sent the reference to the prop maker.

Most aurebesh tools online are static alphabet charts you decode by hand, which works for a single letter but gets tedious fast for full names, multi-word phrases, or anything involving aurebesh numbers. A dedicated tool handles the whole conversion in one step.

This translator uses AI to process the full galactic basic standard character set, including aurebesh numbers, multi-word phrases, and common Star Wars terms, so you get consistent output whether you searched for a galactic language translator, a galactic basic translator, or an aurebesh font generator-style tool. It also handles the reverse direction cleanly if you're going from Aurebesh back to English.
