Dragon language is a huge part of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim lore. However, to understand this language, one must find a way to interpret its words and meanings. Here, I present you with some of the best Skyrim dragon translators that will enhance your gameplay experience.
Skyrim: The Best Online Dragon Translators
Thuum.org
The most popular online dragon translator is Thuum.org. This web service has been named after the dragon shout (Thu’um). It really is the most comprehensive dragon dictionary, which allows users to contribute new words to the dictionary and expand it. While using Thuum.org, I found its quick and easy online translation tool very useful. There’s also a tool for learning the language, as well as a number of mini-games. However, I think that the community forums need some work, as there’s just too much spam popping up.
Draconic Translator
A lesser-known Draconic Translator actually claims to be the very first online dragon language tool with over 10,000 draconic words in its database. I believe that this tool was designed specifically for Skyrim players who take dragon language very seriously and really aim to fine-tune every single bit of this translation tool with their contributions. I also discovered that there’s a very handy mini-translator that doesn’t require you to keep the website open at all times.
Skyrim: The Best Mods for Dragon Interpreting
Linguists of Skyrim Mod (Dragon Tongue Translation Kit)
If you don’t want to constantly switch between the game window and your web browser to translate Dragon language, then I highly recommend downloading the Linguists of Skyrim mod. It adds a decoding tablet and a dictionary of dragon terms to the game. It makes things so much easier when trying to learn a new dragon shout and the story behind it or where to find a specific dragon priest. This mod will not only add a whole layer of fun to your gameplay experience but also save you time.
Dragonborn Can Read Dragon Language Mod
The Dragonborn Can Read Dragon Language mod offers a more direct approach to translating word walls. First, you need to find the book titled “Dragon Language: Myth No More,” which is an additional piece of content that comes with this mod. After that, you’ll be able to immediately interpret the word walls in your journal, learning everything you need about the dragon quests. I find that it’s a much more convenient tool, especially if you’re simply looking for the quickest way to translate dragon language in the game.
Another Dragon Language Book Mod
The last mod on my list sort of combines the two previous mods by adding a special book to the game with extra content and a dictionary of words. You can find this book at any moment in the High Hrothgar location after downloading the Another Dragon Language Book mod. The main reason why I think this mod is fascinating is that it adds over 20 pages of elaborate and very detailed explanations of the dragon language.
That’s it for my list of the best Skyrim dragon translators. Stay tuned for more Skyrim tips and tricks articles, including a complete list of all fishing locations.
