About the Anglo-Saxon (Old English) Translator
Old English — spoken by the Anglo-Saxons in England from roughly 450 to 1150 AD — sounds almost like a completely different language to modern ears. Words like "hwæt" (listen!), "wæs" (was), and "cyning" (king) give you a sense of just how much English has changed. Beowulf, the oldest major work of English literature, was written in this language. This translator brings that ancient Germanic tongue to your words.
Fun fact: Beowulf, written in Old English around 1000 AD, is over 3,000 lines long and tells the story of a warrior battling monsters.
