The writing on every screen in Star Wars
Look at the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon, the signage in a Coruscant cantina, the label on a crate in a Jawa sandcrawler — that angular lettering is Aurebesh, the alphabet of Galactic Basic, the common tongue of the Star Wars galaxy. Its name comes from its first two letters, Aurek and Besh, the same way "alphabet" comes from alpha and beta.
Here's the fun part: Aurebesh is a direct one-to-one swap for the English alphabet. Every letter has exactly one Aurebesh glyph. So "translating" is really just reading the same words in a different set of letters — which means you can write anything in it. So we built the tool: the SWURPG Aurebesh Translator.
Type English, read Aurebesh
Type in the box and it appears instantly in the galaxy's own script. May the Force be with you — that's the classic line, rendered in real Aurebesh right here on the page.
It's built on authentic Aurek-Besh fonts, and you can make it look how you want:
- Two typefaces — a clean, legible Aurebesh, or a bolder, more stylized cut.
- Any color, on a light or dark background.
- Any size, from a caption to a banner.
- A full reference chart — every letter, number, and punctuation mark, side by side with its English equivalent, so you can learn to read it yourself.
Download it and use it
Hit Download PNG and you've got a clean image to drop wherever you like:
- A tabletop prop — hand your players a "datapad" with a clue in Aurebesh, label a map, letter a faction banner, or stencil a warning on a door.
- A poster, nameplate, or sticker — your name, your ship, your favorite line.
- A social graphic, a phone wallpaper, a tattoo mock-up before you commit.
It all runs in your browser, no account required, and it's free.
And it's already in the game
If you play SWURPG, Aurebesh isn't just a novelty — you can etch it straight onto a weapon in the new Blaster Builder, carving a name or a callsign into the receiver in the metal of your choice. A little galactic authenticity, right on your character's gear.
