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 Star Wars language tool, the Huttese Translator covers Jabba-style spoken dialogue.

Use short labels or phrases first, especially for props and display text:

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

For reverse reading, paste Aurebesh text, swap the direction, and translate again. That makes signs, screenshots, and prop text easier to check.

Aurebesh examples work best with Star Wars names, labels, signs, and short in-universe messages:

Example lines work best here when someone wants to test how readable a full sign, label, or prop phrase will look in Aurebesh.

Character-by-character checks make Aurebesh labels easier to verify:

Short words tied to Jedi, rebels, and Star Wars props usually get the most attention here because they are the easiest to reuse visually.

Star Wars screens, signs, props, costumes, and fan labels are the natural place for Aurebesh text.

• 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.

Names, labels, props, short quotes, tattoos, and theme-park decoding are the cleanest use cases because Aurebesh is a script first, not a full spoken language.

If other fictional writing systems interest you, the Draconic Translator covers the dragon script of Dungeons and Dragons.

Aurebesh is the Star Wars alphabet used to write Galactic Basic. It is best for names, signs, labels, cosplay props, and short sci-fi messages.

Reverse checks help when you find Aurebesh text on a display, poster, prop, or fan project and want the English letters behind it.
