North Sami Translator Online – English to North Sami Word Substitution

What is North Sami Translator Online – English to North Sami Word Substitution?

This is a two-way substitution helper for a small, fixed English–North Sami (Davvisámegiella) word and phrase list. It covers greetings, a few courtesy phrases, question words, the numbers one to ten, and a handful of everyday verbs. You paste English text and get the listed items replaced with North Sami, or paste North Sami text and get the listed items replaced with English. Anything outside the list stays exactly as you typed it, and the response gives a Replaced list of the spans that were converted plus a Left unchanged list of the spans that survived.

It is deliberately honest about scope. North Sami has rich inflection and consonant gradation; a word list cannot reproduce that. What this tool does is give you a fast, inspectable lookup for the specific phrases it knows.

Key Features

• Bidirectional substitution. English to North Sami and North Sami to English, using the same verified pairs in both directions.
• Phrase-first matching. Longer entries such as "my name is" and "how are you" are matched before single words, so "good morning" is not broken into pieces.
• Digit handling. The digits 1 through 10 and their English spellings both map to okta, guokte, golbma, njeallje, vihtta, guhtta, čieža, gávcci, ovcci and logi.
• Preservation and reporting. Unmatched words, punctuation, spacing and line breaks survive untouched, and a short report lists the replaced spans and the spans left unchanged.
• Copyable output. Converted text arrives in a plain code block you can copy directly.

How to Use

1. Type or paste your text and say which direction you want, for example "English to North Sami: hello, how are you, thank you". If you do not name a direction, the Agent infers it from the script and vocabulary and states its assumption.
2. Read the converted block first. Below it you get a short list of replaced spans and a list of spans left unchanged because they are outside the word list.
3. Ask for a reverse pass, a different phrasing, or a random example sentence built only from the verified phrases if you want to see the list in action.

Example Use Cases

• Greeting card or classroom worksheet. Convert "good morning, thank you, my name is Liisa" to get bures, giitu, mu namma lea Liisa, then check the report to confirm each item was on the list.
• Number practice. Turn "one two three four five" into okta guokte golbma njeallje vihtta, or run the reverse direction on Sami numerals to recover the English words.
• Reading Sami text you found. Paste a short North Sami greeting such as "bures, movt manná" and see which parts the list recognises, with a clear note that the rest is outside scope.

Tips for Best Results

• Keep requests short and literal. This tool matches listed items; it does not paraphrase or translate free prose.
• When you need the reverse direction, say so explicitly, because several English greetings share one Sami form (bures covers hello, hi, good morning and good afternoon).
• Matching is case-insensitive, but replacements always use the canonical lowercase North Sami form, so "Hello" becomes bures.
• Treat the output as a vocabulary aid, not a validated translation for official, legal or signage use.

FAQ

What input format does it accept?
Plain text in the chat box, in English or North Sami. There is no file upload and no length-based pricing. Very long passages are converted in full and the rest is left intact, but the report is condensed to a summary rather than a complete span-by-span list.

How accurate is the result?
It is exact for the fixed pairs it knows and silent about everything else. It is not a grammar-aware translator, so inflected North Sami forms, compound words and unlisted vocabulary will not convert. The source page itself warns that its output is not an exact translation, and this Agent keeps that limitation visible rather than hiding it.

What does the conversion report show?
The Agent returns the converted text in a copyable block, then a Replaced list of source→target pairs in order of appearance and a Left unchanged list of the surviving spans. In the reverse direction it adds ambiguity notes for one-to-many forms such as bures and giitu. For very long inputs the report is condensed to a summary.

Can it translate a full sentence I wrote?
Only the listed phrases and words inside it. The rest is returned unchanged and flagged, so you can see the gap instead of assuming a complete translation.
