Hello.
Can anyone help me translate the name VICTOR into sanskrit.
Thanks

Hi, lplp!

I seem to have had some reasonably good success using the following site. Sanskrit Dictionary for Spoken Sanskrit (http://www.spokensanskrit.de/) I do wish that we had a designated expert here in translating words into Sanskrit. However, every once in awhile, there are a couple of people that show up who really know their stuff about translating written names, words and sentences from other languages into the written Sanskrit. Hopefully, someone like that will come along and notice your post.

You may have to try the site above in the different ways that are available and maybe also try some things that are suggested on it in order for you to be successful.

There is also another site that you could try. It would be the following one. Free Online Translations to Sanskrit, Hindi & Marathi for Tattoos, Names & Sentences (http://freetranslationblog.blogspot.com/)

I think that the guy that runs it is the same one that comes around here, now and then, to answer very finely concerning questions like the one that you have.

There is also another person who has recently joined who really knows his stuff. Hopefully, either of them will come along to respond to your post.

It's my understanding, that there is also a way to contact people on either site to get help.

Thanks!

Thanks Clough.
My problem is, that I´ve seen two or tree different ways of spelling the name "Victor" in Sanskrit, so I don't know wich one is correct.
It is for at tattoo so it better be right.:)

Hi, lilp!

If it's for something that will permanently be on your body, then I would suggest getting two or even three opinions as to a translation to make absolutely sure that it's correct.

I would hate to see you put something permanently on your body and not have it be correct!

It's my understanding, that for names to be translated into the written Sanskrit, it is helpful to the translators who know what they are doing, to know how it is sounded out.

For instance, is your pronunciation of Victor like the following?

Vik-tor. That would be with a short sounding "i", like in the English words, bit or pit, rather than it being pronounced with a long "ee" sound.

Thanks!

It´s Victor with a short sounding "i" Vic-tor.
I have been searching for mounths now, it is very difficult to find the right one.
