Yoda speak translator

Paste a few sentences and this tool rewrites them the way Yoda talks: the object or complement moves to the front, and the subject with its verb moves to the end — "You must have patience" becomes "Patience, you must have." It finds the verb by scanning for common auxiliaries and modals (is, must, will, have and the like), so plain declarative sentences work best.

Swap strength sets how often an eligible sentence is actually reordered, from 0 (never) to 100 (always) — useful for scattering the effect through a passage rather than hitting every line. Interjection chance adds a leading filler word like "Hmm," or "Yes," independently of the reorder. Preserve proper names and quoted text keeps capitalized words and anything inside double quotes untouched, instead of lower-casing whatever gets moved from the start. Choose whether reordering treats each sentence on its own or a whole paragraph as one block, and turn on "Explain the reordering" to append a note counting how many sentences were swapped.

The input language option switches which dictionary of verbs the tool looks for — English, German or Slovak — since the trick only works by recognizing that language's own auxiliaries. This is a playful, rule-of-thumb rewrite rather than a grammar engine, so unusual sentence structures may come out unchanged or slightly odd — expected from a heuristic, not a bug to report.

FAQ

Why do some sentences come out unchanged?
The tool needs to recognize a verb (like "is", "must" or "will") to know where to split the sentence. If none of the dictionary’s auxiliary verbs appear, or the verb is the very last word, the sentence is left as-is.
What does "swap strength" actually change?
It is the chance, from 0 to 100, that a sentence where a verb was found is actually reordered. At 100 every eligible sentence swaps; lower it to get a mix of swapped and untouched sentences.
Does turning off "Preserve proper names and quoted text" break capitalization on purpose?
Yes. With it off, the word moved away from the start of the sentence is always lower-cased, even if it looked like a name. With it on, a capitalized word that isn’t a recognized pronoun is left alone, and quoted spans are never split apart.
Can it translate other languages besides English, German and Slovak?
Not yet — the reorder depends on a small dictionary of that language’s own auxiliary verbs, and only those three are built in. Text in another language is scanned against the selected dictionary and will mostly come back unchanged.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole rewrite runs in your browser — nothing you paste is sent to a server.
