im confused about something on the consonants chart...
there are two circles on the far left, one with a line below and one with a line in between. what is the difference between the two of them? cuz i just have no idea, they both look exactly the same O3O

The line represents the edge of the word circle. Letters like J are "inside" the word circle, and letters like TH are "on the edge of" the word circle.

This is really helpful c: thank you for making a guide that's simple enough to follow! I was wondering, though, when you have a 'T' in a word that makes the 'Sh' sound, which letter do you use? Or does it not matter either way?
π: 0 β©: 1
I generally use the T, but I think people would understand either way.

I feel like I need a more detailed version, like really detailed. Or maybe I'm just extremely stupid.

Lovely translator.
How do you open the translator once you've downloaded it?
π: 0 β©: 2
Open the .jar file. If you have the most recent version of Java, it should run on its own.

It worked, thank you!

*Lovely tutorial, sorry. Was talking while writing

Woowweee 
Anyway...AMAZING

So long as you can tell which letter's which, anything's allowed. Thank you so much, although I doubt they'd contact meβthey need to keep up the mystery of the Doctor's name after all!

Cheers!
Well, lets live in hope

The link doesn't work... Could someone write it in comments plzz? 
π: 0 β©: 1
Hm, it's working for me.. just give it a while to load, perhaps. It's shermansplanet.com/gallifreyan

Also, is it just me or does the translator and the full guide not match up? Certain letters appear different.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh? Which ones?
π: 0 β©: 0
Gah, I'm sorry to say I don't think I get this. I REALLY want to learn but I can't wrap my head around it.

Why is there no C? And why do we have to use a K or S instead of it? Does it make a difference which one we use?
π: 0 β©: 1
From the FAQ of the guide:
Why isnβt there a C?
Because I had one too many letters and C was redundant. When I made the alphabet, I had no clue it would inconvenience so many people. If you feel that you absolutely have to write a C, write it like a K but with four dots. Similarly, a Q (not a QU) is written like a TH, but with four dots.

Thank you. I got that I think, though I'm having difficulty understanding how the vowels work. I think it's the diagram that's confusing me.

This really helped me understand how to put the letters together to make words, thank you! But I still can't get how to put the sentence together.
π: 0 β©: 1
Exact same way you put the words togetherβcounterclockwise from the bottom.

Is the "==>" arrow a Homestuck reference or is just a normal arrow?
π: 0 β©: 1
Homestuck reference, you got me.

yess my inner sherlockian was able to figure it out

Nomberd? If by that you mean "numbers" then you can look at the full guide here: [link]

Ok so how do we know where to put the extra lines?
π: 0 β©: 1
What do you mean "extra"?
π: 0 β©: 0
What if you have to vowels in a row, do you connect them both to the previous consonant, or attach the first one to the consonant and leave the second one separately attached to the main word circle???
π: 0 β©: 1
Attach the first one and leave the second one separate.

...I can't see it behind the blinking yellow words!

Well the file's been lost so I can't change that, but it's a bit outdated anywayβI would recommend going to the Gallifreyan site and reading the guide there.

Wow! Your translator is so awesome! Thank you very much!!!

So is the writing we see in the show like cursive? I absolutely love this, by the way.
π: 0 β©: 1
The writing in the show is meaningless. It's just random cool-looking circles made up by BBC.

i showed this to my freind andrew lane who writes for dr who and we both think you've done a brilliant job
