A utility designed to convert text from the English language to the Scots language enables communication and understanding between speakers of the two languages. For example, the English sentence, “The little brown dog jumped over the lazy fox,” might be rendered in Scots as, “The wee broon dug louped ower the lazy tod.”
Such a tool facilitates the preservation and promotion of a distinct cultural heritage. It can aid in the accessibility of historical texts written in Scots, allowing a wider audience to appreciate and study them. Furthermore, it supports contemporary speakers of Scots in expressing themselves and connecting with others who share the language.
