Who’s behind this site
NorseTranslator.com is built and maintained by Adeel Shahzad, a self-taught enthusiast of Old Norse language, runes, and Viking Age history, as an independent, self-funded personal project. This site started as a personal project to make Old Norse vocabulary and rune resources easier to explore online, and is not affiliated with a university, museum, or academic institution.
Adeel Shahzad runs this site independently — not as part of a team of professional linguists, philologists, or credentialed academics in Old Norse studies. Research for this site’s content and dictionary curation is self-directed, drawing on published historical references such as the Cleasby-Vigfússon dictionary (see Sources & Corpora).
How content is reviewed
This is currently a single-person project: Adeel Shahzad writes and maintains the site’s content and also reviews it. There is no separate, independent academic reviewer at this time, and we don’t want to overstate that there is. If and when we bring in a qualified outside reviewer for deeper linguistic accuracy checks, we’ll update this page with their name, credentials, and scope of review.
Conflict of interest
This site is independently owned and supported by advertising. We have no sponsorship or financial relationship with any dictionary publisher, museum, or academic institution referenced on the site.
