What Is a Trigedasleng Translator?
Trigedasleng is the constructed language spoken by the Grounders in The 100, developed by linguist David J. Peterson for the CW television series. This english to trigedasleng translator converts your text both ways: English into Trigedasleng and Trigedasleng back into English.
Peterson built the language on the premise that English evolved over 97 years of post-nuclear isolation, so the words feel familiar but the phonology and grammar shifted into something distinctly new. It's one of the most grounded fictional languages ever made for television, built with the same care Peterson brought to Dothraki.
Use this as a grounder language trigedasleng translator to pull up phrases, names, and key dialogue from the world of The 100. For another constructed language by Peterson, the Dothraki Translator covers the warrior speech from Game of Thrones.

What Makes This Trigedasleng Translator Work
Trigedasleng has a finite documented vocabulary, and most tools either stop at the basic show phrases or produce random garbled text for anything not in that list. That's where the gap is for fans who need more than just the top ten lines.
This translator uses AI to handle Trigedasleng's pronunciation patterns and vocabulary shifts, extending Peterson's documented framework to produce output that sounds like the Grounders rather than broken English. It draws on the trigedasleng dictionary built by the fan community to cover gaps where canonical vocabulary runs thin.
For other fictional language tools, the Klingon Translator covers Star Trek's warrior tongue and the Elvish Translator handles Tolkien's languages from Middle-earth. The Wikipedia article on Trigedasleng covers Peterson's full design process, the phonology, and how the language evolved across the show's seasons.
