General Discussion If you have anything off topic to say or you are unsure where to post, this is the place to do so.


Welcome to the Layonara forums!

Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.

Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.

After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.

There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.

We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.

Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free. So please. join our community today!

Default language translator

i think i saw once a page where you could translate common into any other NWN language. May have been on another site but does anyone know of this?

Yes

Language Converter

here it is. There is no conversion from a non common language to common. I had asked the page maker if he could add it, he said it would not be possible.

Reverse translations from these custom languages isn't easily possible because there is ambiguity in the reverse translation. It generally takes a human looking at it to figure out the meaning.

Also note that Layonara has a few custom languages that will not appear on that page, and for those there are no online translators available.

Well he did say that if you wanted it, to send them to him he would be happy to integrate them into his page. As far as My use for them, the elven is spot on.

For at least a couple of them, no, we don't want an online resource. They're languages even rarer than Abyssal/Infernal/Draconic/Celestial.

Anyway, just offering that as a point of information.

Your right, most of the languages can't be converted back to common due to how the languages were made. I tried to make a reverse conversion system for the translator and it didn't do to well.

Well, if you want, I could make it so the languages don't show up by default but needs a special "passcode" or such before they do. Perhaps sending a unique string over the query string and such. This way you guys can use the online translator without making the language available to everyone.

GMs have access to the in-game ears, so there's not really a need. But thanks for the offer.
