English-Elvish-English Language Translations: Requests Welcome

Was that a typo or did you just say dish rather then disk? :p

What about a translation for "The pull" where pull can be substituted for temptation, lure, sway. Not for a person, but a sword that has a demon in it. Oh and if you replace the word can you try not to make it subtle, so it's the lure of fresh blood, not turning evil.

Wha?

The Pull (The Sway) - I'Siruluan'atyaya

Babelfish? I just look up the elvish word that best fits the word being translated and work from there. And I don't think a computerized translation tool is even possible for elvish. For that to work, there would need to be at least quadruple the words that are already present in elvish as we know it. Just what do you mean by 'whole texts'? Novels? Short stories? Paragraphs? If it's something small and short than you can just post it up I'll get around to it.

By whole texts I would probably mean paragraphs. Stuff on maps. Random bits that I want when I want, as opposed to waiting for someone (not that you're slow).

Bear in mind, I can make up my own elvish gibberish and nobody's going to be the wiser. I'm looking at an automated tool to help everybody with that.

The process isn't too hard. Build a list of english synonyms (words that mean the same) with one word as the root word that you have a translation for. Then let her rip.

I'd be just as likely to elvanize the text by replacing phonetic combinations, and rearranging sentence structure if detectable.

Ork is really easy, drop all the articles and convert.

A quick request

I am not too sure what I am doing, if it wasn't obvious enough, I am rather new to this. I am actually seeking the Elvish translation for:

"The Whisper On The Wind."

Oh, and if you could add how to pronounce it (I'd hate to look like a babbling fool), I'd much appreciate it! Thanks a bunch!!
