Can the Guild provide translations into Elvish or other languages upon request?
Translating into the languages of Tolkien is for many reasons a challenging and time-consuming task, and often it is impossible to arrive at one indesputable solution. Therefore, the members of Mellonath Daeron are usually not willing to act as translators for third parties. However, we welcome scholarly debate on translating issues. If you want the aid of Mellonath Daeron, first attempt your own translation using the numerous available sources (see the Links page for some good starting points on the Web), then present your attempt to the Guild and politely ask for comments. If you want to reach a larger, international group of scholars on Tolkien’s languages, visit the mailing lists Elfling and TolkLang.
