Sanskrit anyone?

I found this awesome translation program that renders English letters into Sanskrit.

It's called Itranslator and it's free.

Available here: Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas

We can't post in Sanskrit font here on the boards for some reason, but I'm using mine for the cover of my GM binder for my current campaign.

Thanks for the find, Joe. This is great.

I'll talk to Scott about the possibility of allowing posts in Sanskrit (at least for quotes and such) on the Forums. We'll see what we can do.

Sorry guys...I don't have what is known as a "Language Pack" containing a Sanskrit font for the Burning Board forum format...

I can ask the fellow who helped set us up with this forum software, but the chances are slim that we'll be able to get our hands on such a thing...

It's best to assume that this forum can handle only the standard Special Characters available in Microsoft Word...

To be fair to everyone, I'm the only goofball who would care anyway.

Heh!

Well,..it IS fun to render text using cool and unique fonts, especially for a fantasy game setting... It's only natural to want to use a font that actually exists for a real Earth language when it totally relates to the fantasy setting as well...

Like I said,...I'll ask the fellow if getting that font package for the forum is possible,...just no one hold their breath for it...

Been a while since I posted around here, but GenCon coming up had me thinking about Shard more and more.

I wanted to let everyone on the forum know that I actually ended up with a pretty good amount of practical knowledge of Sanskrit from this game (I'm a polyglot who enjoys studying language, btw). So...program or not, if anyone wants something translated, let me know. I'll tell you if I can't, but I've gotten pretty good at rendering English to Sanskrit...but I'm only so-so and going the other way.
