About

LangBelta

Read full description

LangBelta is a dictionary and translator for Lang Belta, the constructed creole created by Nick Farmer for The Expanse. BROWSE THE DICTIONARY Every word entry, listed alphabetically. Filter to a single letter to jump straight to it — accented letters are filed under their unaccented parent, so Á sits with A. Words that share a spelling but differ in meaning are shown together and numbered, rather than the app picking one for you. LOOK UP A MEANING Search in English to find the Lang Belta word for it. Each word entry shows its part of speech, its English meaning, and cross-references to related words. TRANSLATE Translate free text between English and Belter Creole in either direction. Translations are generated by a language model, so they will not always be right — anything that looks wrong or offensive can be flagged from the translation itself with a single tap. SHARE Any word entry can be shared as a link that opens straight back to that word. BUILT TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY No account. No sign-in. No ads. No analytics, no tracking, and no advertising identifiers. Light and dark themes follow your system setting. A NOTE ON PRIVACY Text you submit for translation is sent to Google's translation model and stored so that repeating a phrase costs nothing — don't type anything private into it. Words you look up in the dictionary are never stored. The full policy is at https://langbelta.hangar279.com/privacy, and you can ask for a stored phrase to be deleted. UNOFFICIAL This is an independent fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the creators, authors, or rights holders of The Expanse. Lang Belta was created by Nick Farmer.
