A friend of mine is currently in search a common-giantish translator, with very little luck. Is such a thing possible? If you can find something, please post it.

I'm not aware of Giant having been described in the books. This (https://sites.google.com/a/klingonword.org/klv/klingon-translator-and-dictionary) might do in a pinch.

Translating Giant is simple.

Here's a sample phrase in common:

"Where is the bathroom?"

Now in Giant:

"Where is the bathroom?"

I'd recommend using an English to Swedish translator, and calling it "close 'nuff". :smalltongue:

Polish sounds more Giantish actually.

I'd say that if this (http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Giant_dictionary) dictionary is accurate it's basically Norwegian.
(Yes, Norwegian is very similar to Swedish, and no, neither is similar to Polish.)

Edit: Oh, and of course, about half of those 'O's should really be Ø (representing a considerably different sounding phoneme), assuming that the nigh consummate similitude vis-à-vis Norwegian (including dialect) is not a funny coincidence. :smalltongue:

Well, I was just assuming Viking giants, I guess! :smalltongue:
