Google Translate should translate Dovah : V

Or maybe some computer programmer could do this. I'd do it myself, but I'm not fluent in Dovah.

No one is. It'd be kind of entertaining, but if they were to do that they'd probably start with Klingon or Dothraki

I'd love to speak Dorthraki. The guy who played Khal Drogo actually because fluent in it to prepare for the roll.

Well, then, we should get some language expert to fill in the gaps. Come on, someone has to be an expert in this

I could program it if a language expert would give me some advice

I counted 156 words in the first column, lets multiply that by 3 and you get 468 words we know, rough estimate. I heard for a language you need to learn the most common 1000 words before you become fluent. So we need to fill in about 500 words, also most of the words were nouns, we need more verbs, adjectives, etc etc, and grammar rules

The language has basically the same grammar as English, with the exceptions that it doesn't have an equivalent to English's apostrophes, it tends to place prepositional phrases earlier in sentences than English does, and it does not always use tense.^{http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Dragon_Language#cite_note-2} To make a word plural, two letters are added to the end of the word, the first being the last letter in the singular form, and the second being an "e".

There's no word "you" which I find is kinda.. Silly. Therfore I use the word "your" when I speak in Dova!

Well, in english, there is no word for second person plural, so that's not too far of a stretch

I was gonna say "you insult me" in Dova.. Half of the words are missing. Ye, I'm angry 'bout that.

Hm, I have the knowledge to do it, but I'm not the greatest at it if we can, we should find someone else, however, I know how to code it the translator , which is probably more important

I guess, it doesn't even matter if the background is a dragonborn pic.
