More Aurebesh Translations from Galaxys Edge and Elsewhere
If you’re a Star Wars fan who has visited Disney’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you may have noticed that many of the signs and labels are written in an alien script known as Aurebesh. While it certainly adds to the immersive experience of the park, it can also be frustrating if you don’t know how to read it. Fortunately, with a little help, it’s possible to translate Aurebesh signs into English.
Aurebesh is the written language of the Star Wars universe, used by characters in movies, books, and comics. It consists of a series of characters that are similar to the letters of the English alphabet but with different shapes and designs. For example, the Aurebesh letter “N” looks like an upside-down “V,” while the letter “B” looks like a sandwich.

To translate an Aurebesh sign into English, you’ll need to be able to recognize the individual characters and then match them up with their English equivalents. Fortunately, there are plenty of resources available online that can help you do just that. One popular tool is the Aurebesh Translator, which allows you to enter text in Aurebesh and receive an English translation.

Of course, not every sign in Galaxy’s Edge can be translated with an online tool. Some signs may use unfamiliar words or phrases that aren’t included in the translator’s database. In those cases, you may need to rely on your own knowledge of Star Wars lore or consult with a more experienced fan.

It’s worth noting that not all of the Aurebesh signs in Galaxy’s Edge are meant to be translated. Some are purely decorative and don’t convey any meaningful information. Others may contain hints or Easter eggs that are meant to be discovered by eagle-eyed fans. So while it can be fun to try and translate every sign you see, don’t be too disappointed if some of them turn out to be meaningless gibberish.
While reading Aurebesh may seem daunting at first, it’s actually fairly easy to translate with the help of online tools and a basic understanding of the language. And for Star Wars fans visiting Galaxy’s Edge, being able to decode the alien script can add an extra layer of immersion to an already incredible experience.
