Terms and Conditions

Purpose of the Website

OldEngTranslator.com provides educational information and language tools related to Old English (Anglo-Saxon) and its relationship with Modern English.

The website is intended to support language exploration, historical understanding, and preliminary translation work.

It is not a professional academic certification service, official historical-language authority, or substitute for specialist examination of complex historical documents.

Our content and tools are provided for general educational and informational purposes.

Use of the Old English Translator

You may use the translator to explore words, phrases, and passages in Old English and Modern English.

Translation results are intended to assist understanding, but they may contain inaccuracies, incomplete interpretations, or expressions that are historically uncertain.

Old English has grammatical, dialectal, and historical features that may not be fully represented in an automated result.

Modern English sentences may also contain concepts, idioms, or terminology for which no directly attested Anglo-Saxon expression exists.

You are responsible for evaluating whether a translation is suitable for your intended use.

For academic work, permanent inscriptions, published translations, or other purposes where precise wording is important, additional verification through reliable sources or a qualified specialist is recommended.

Acceptable Use

You agree to use OldEngTranslator.com lawfully and in a manner that does not interfere with the website or its visitors.

You must not:

• Attempt unauthorized access to website systems, administration areas, or user information.
• Introduce malicious code or deliberately interfere with website functionality.
• Use automated requests in a manner that disrupts or overloads the service.
• Misrepresent website content, authorship, or translation output as an official academic certification.
• Use the website to violate another person’s rights or applicable law.
• Attempt to bypass reasonable security or access restrictions.

We may restrict access or take appropriate protective action when misuse threatens the website or its users, subject to applicable law.

Translation Input and User Responsibility

You are responsible for the text and other material you enter into the translation tool or submit through the contact form.

You should have the necessary rights or permission to use material that is protected by copyright or other legal restrictions.

Old English historical texts may be in the public domain, but modern editions, translations, annotations, photographs, and scholarly commentary can carry separate rights.

The appearance of historical material on this website does not establish that every associated modern work is free from copyright restrictions.

We do not guarantee that a translation is unique, suitable for commercial publication, free from third-party rights, or linguistically correct.

Users remain responsible for checking those matters before relying on or distributing the results.
