Rune Writer – Translate Latin letters to ancient alphabets

Rune Writer is an Android application that allows users to translate Latin letters into ancient or fictional alphabets. Users can write and post runic messages directly on Facebook or Google+ or use the pictures as logos or backgrounds for their home screen. The free version includes Elder Futhark Proto-Norse runes (1th-9th centuries AD) and Gothic alphabet (4th-7th centuries AD). The full version includes more alphabets, such as Theban Witches’ alphabet used in modern Wicca, Danish younger Futhark runes from the Viking age, Swedish-Norwegian Rök runes from the Viking age, Anglo-Saxon runes, Medieval runes, Aryan Armanic runes, Old Turkic script, Gothic alphabet, Celtic Ogham alphabet, Klingon pIqaD from ‘Star Trek’, Etruscan alphabet, Ugaritic cuneiform, Phoenician alphabet, and Slavic Glagolitic alphabet. The translated text can be exported as a PNG image and users can change the background color and font color and size. However, not all programs can display the translated text copied from Rune Writer because not all apps have the needed fonts installed. If users see untranslated characters, it is because the target alphabet is missing the required letter.
