Hi! I have some questions about the Sindarian Elvish text. Is there a pattern in writing it? Can I trust online text translators? Annon allen! -Vanyalindë

Hi! Sindarin is a language; the tengwar are an Elvish writing system that can be used to represent it, along with many other languages in Middle-earth and our own world (just like the Latin alphabet you and I are communicating with now).
Tecendil is probably the best online transcriber (Latin alphabet > tengwar) today. There aren’t and likely never will be automatic translators (English > Quenya, Sindarin, etc.). If you’d like to learn about the tengwar in a great deal of detail and depth, the Amanyë Tenceli (Q. “Writing Systems of Aman”) site is your go-to resource!
