How it works
This Glagolitic translator swaps each Latin letter you type for a Glagolitic one, capital for capital and small for small. It changes letters, not meaning: nothing is translated, and Glagolitsa comes out as Ⰳⰾⰰⰳⱁⰾⰻⱌⰰ.

Glagolitic script translator, letter by letter
The table is the scientific transliteration of Old Church Slavonic, read from Wiktionary's Glagolitic table and run backwards. Most letters pair one to one. Two can mislead: c writes ⱌ, the sound ts, and x writes ⱈ, IPA x, not ks. For a hard c type k. H writes ⱈ too, and y takes two letters, ⱏⰺ.
Letters a plain keyboard lacks
Ž, č, š and št have a letter each: ⰶ, ⱍ, ⱎ and ⱋ. Type them as zh, ch, sh and sht, the way the letters' own names are spelled for English readers: Zhivete, Cherv, Sha, Shta. Kh, ts, yu and dj work the same way.
- J, q and w have no Glagolitic letter in the table and stay as typed. For a j sound, dj writes ⰼ, IPA dʑ.
- Three Glagolitic letters read as i. The page writes ⰻ, the one in the script's own name.
Questions and answers
Is this an English to Glagolitic translator?
For letters, yes. Type hello and you get ⱈⰵⰾⰾⱁ, the same English word in Glagolitic letters. That suits a name. It will not give you the Old Church Slavonic word for anything.
Why do I see empty boxes?
The letters arrived and the font did not. Glagolitic sits at U+2C00 to U+2C5F, and a device with no font for that block draws boxes. The copied text is still correct and shows wherever such a font exists.
Can it turn Glagolitic into English letters?
Press Swap and paste the Glagolitic text. Each letter comes back in its scientific spelling: ⰶ as ž, ⱍ as č, ⱈ as x. Five letters of the block have no row and stay put: pe, yo, shtapic, small yus with tail and caudate chrivi.
