Need Letters First!
The Al Bhed are a tribal group of technologists in Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. They have their own unique language (made up) which is a simple cipher. This Al Bhed translator will convert Al Bhed to English and English into Al Bhed.
This fantasy language translator isn't the only way to figure out the language. In addition to using an Al Bhed translator, there are primers scattered through the game. Once you find the Al Bhed primer locations, you will learn the letters of their alphabet and Al Bhed letter translation will become automatic. Al Bhed letter translation is just a substitution cipher, so this is relatively simple once you know the pattern.
It works like this. Within the game, a player can learn the language by picking up Al Bhed Primers. For every primer you acquire, you will automatically see a translated view of a single letter of their alphabet. In Final Fantasy X-2, you will discover Primer by listening (to the language) or digging in the Bikanel Desert. In Final Fantasy X, Primers are given by NPCs or can be discovered in the field. The player can also use an Al Bhed Compilation Sphere to load Primers from another saved game.
This is pretty common, where a game maker uses a basic pen and paper cipher to create a faux game language.
Ec pnit (No, seriously, that is what it translates into).
No, Al Bhed is a fictional language used in the Final Fantasy series. It uses a simple substitution cipher with the English alphabet. This Al Bhed translator gives a shortcut to figuring this out (as an app for the fictional Al Bhed language). You can use it on Android, Apple, or regular desktop computers.
I'm sure someone out there has created some wonderful fan fiction about the Al Bhed people and the phonetics of their beautiful language. The Japanese version of Al Bhed script can be used to translate words into katakana/hiragana. But this is a fictional language. The specific spoken Al Bhed pronunciation of an Al Bhed word or phrases is up to you.
