Frequently asked questions
Is the Old German free to use?
Yes. The Old German is free, requires no signup, has no daily limit, and adds no watermark. You can use the translations for personal or commercial projects.
Can I use this for tattoos or engravings?
Treat any output as a draft only. Germanic has subtleties no AI fully captures; always verify with a specialist before committing to anything permanent.
How long can my input be?
Each translation supports up to roughly 4,000 tokens of output, about 2,500-3,000 English words. For longer texts, break the input into paragraphs and translate one at a time.
Is the output historically accurate?
The Old German applies the major documented features of Germanic according to mainstream scholarship. Some details remain debated; for academic publication or permanent inscription, have output reviewed by a specialist.
Why do I get slightly different output each time?
The translator runs at a moderate creative temperature, so identical inputs produce varied outputs by design. Run it two or three times and pick the version that fits best.
