    Translations

    I have begun to write a fantasy novel, actually I'm in the process of research and prep work. But I have created the names for some areas and other parts of my book, but would like to translate them to make people look for their meaning, or later reveal it. Where can I find a place to translate or "create" another meaning for them?

    I know it sounds like a "No S&%@ Sherlock" comment, but have you tried online translators? Google can put you onto a million of them. Otherwise, try language books and travel guides. I have a Japanes-English dictionary, but that's about it. I personally prefer to make up my own names.

    I just wondered whether it would make more sense to create my own names and say that they stand for something, or somehow translate it into another language, which may cause me to lead my story to take part somehow in the region the language is from.
