An Aurebesh translator is either a mobile app, software program or a simple chart enabling Star Wars fans to decode or translate the Aurebesh writing system into English. Aurebesh is a writing system within the Star Wars Galaxy developed to transcribe Galactic Basic Standard, a widely used language throughout the galaxy. (In the real world, “Basic” is simply the English language).
Aurebesh consists of 34 letters and 14 punctuation marks. The system also includes ten numerical digits. Since most Aurebesh numbers closely resemble the appearance of standard Arabic numerals (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), Aurebesh numbers may not require translation.
