Cear Dragon has built three Java applications that will translate simple English sentences into their Gargish equivalent. And although the title of the software specifies that it is useful for Ultima Online, fans of Ultima 6 may also find it interesting.

The newest version of the program should be sufficient for most interested users, although some Mac and Linux users may find that the ASCII build will work better for them if issues with non-ASCII characters are being encountered.

The third version, however, is a two-way translator, which only supports ASCII characters. As the name implies, it can translate both from English to Gargish and Gargish to English, although Cear Dragon warns that since single words in Gargish can map to several English words, translation in that direction can “get pretty ugly”.

You can download the translators from the new project entry I’ve added to the Ultima 6 subdomain, or from the project’s page at Cear’s Zog Cabal website.
