Local OE glossary — not fluent prose OE.

This tool finds individual dictionary entries. It does not compose, decline, conjugate, or validate a Latin sentence.
The dictionary is bundled with this page and the lookup runs in your browser. It is useful for checking a common word, not for presenting a word-for-word result as fluent Latin.
This tool looks up Old English (Anglo-Saxon) dictionary words. Shakespeare wrote Early Modern English much later; use the Shakespeare Translator for that writing style.
Type common Modern English words. Each word is lowercased for lookup and replaced only when this local glossary has an entry; spaces and punctuation stay as entered.
Yes. The word lookup runs in your browser. Your text is not sent to a translation model or external dictionary service.
It remains exactly as entered and is counted as unavailable. The tool does not guess at an Old English equivalent.
