How the Goblin Translator Works
The signature Goblin move is reduplication — words repeat themselves for emphasis, which is why "hello" becomes Hey-hey! Oy-oy! instead of a single word. It's a deliberate quirk, not a translation glitch, and it shows up across the entire phrasebook.
Unrecognized words get dressed up with scavenger-camp prefixes (sneaky, itsy, yooz, gobby) and suffixes (-y, -iz, -oo, -in), plus letter swaps like th→d and or→az, so even invented Goblin words sound like they tumbled out of the same chaotic tribe.
Sentence structure otherwise stays simple and direct (English word order, articles dropped), because Goblin's personality lives in the vocabulary and the doubling, not in complex grammar. Flavor words like Mine-mine! and Sneaky-sneaky! get sprinkled in for good measure.

About Accuracy
Goblin is a fictional language — there is no single “correct” version. Our translator uses a consistent rule system to produce results that feel authentic to the spirit and sound of Goblin language. Results are labeled as creative approximations and are made for entertainment, not official use.
